STUDENT RESOURCES

Workforce Development is part of the Chamber's core principles, but we cannot accomplish this without strong companies in our corner providing working and learning opportunities for East End Youth.

Student resources and career exploration experiences like internships, scholarships, volunteer opportunities and camps enhance academic learning and cultivate well-rounded individuals equipped with the skills and experiences necessary to excel in their future careers and workforce.

To get your Student Resources listed below contact Chamber@eecoc.org.

SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Scholarships serve as a gateway to educational opportunities and not only provide financial support but also open doors to a brighter future for deserving students.

INTERNSHIP & APPRENTICESHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Internship and apprenticeship programs provide valuable learning experiences for both students and the company itself. These opportunities offer students a chance to explore different career paths, gain practical skills, and learn about the real world of work.

For companies, they bring many benefits starting with fresh perspectives, energy, and enthusiasm into the workplace. They can also serve as a pipeline for recruiting talented individuals for future full-time positions.
