This event is free, but we ask that you register. A meal will be served.
In past symposiums, we've had the privilege of hearing directly from students and business leaders as they shared their experiences and perspectives. We will continue with that this year as well, and already have 10 students prepared to share their experience.
These conversations have highlighted the power of collaboration between education and industry, giving students a voice while allowing businesses to share real-world insight on workforce needs and career pathways.
The impact has been meaningful, sparking new ideas, stronger partnerships, and a deeper understanding of how we can better prepare our future workforce together.
The Inaugural Symposium stemmed from the creation of an internship guide to share with businesses. Students need work experience before graduating from high school, and we need our local businesses to partner with our schools to provide it.
What better way to show that than to host a symposium that brings everyone together to reach a common goal?
Participating schools include: Clinton, Camanche, Fulton, Northeast, Calamus-Wheatland, and EICC.
We currently have 22 businesses registered; however, we would love to see more register. The goal is to see 100 registrants, and we are currently at 73, with 3 weeks to go!
Our mission is to ignite business growth, strengthen community ties, and advocate for the sustainable economic success of the Greater Clinton Region.
