Building Delaware County’s Future Workforce

Preparing today’s students for tomorrow’s jobs is essential for the success of our businesses and community. That’s why the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Delaware County Workforce Development Board, is offering free, high-impact programs this fall that directly connect employers with students.
 
How Employers Can Get Involved

• High School Job Shadow Program
  Host a junior or senior for one day. Students gain hands-on exposure while you showcase your industry and inspire future talent.
• High School Job Site Tours
  Welcome small groups of students to tour your workplace, meet employees, and see careers in action.
• Middle School Career Days
  Share your career journey and highlight opportunities within your business to spark curiosity at an earlier age.

 
Why It Matters
 “These programs are about more than a single day or workshop. They’re about building long-term connections between Delaware County’s businesses, schools, and young talent,” said Trish McFarland, President of the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce. “By working with the Delaware County Workforce Development Board, we’re ensuring that students and interns have the tools they need to succeed and that employers have access to a stronger, more prepared workforce.”
