DEVELOPING YOUR FUTURE WORKFORCE (06/01/2009)

By Alisa Johnson, Washington Business Week

In not too many years, today’s high school students will be your employees and customers. The better prepared they are in terms of education, basic work skills and appreciation for a positive business climate, the better. You can help students get a head start for life after high school by letting your employees and customers know about the Washington Business Week Programs. These are intense, fun-filled residential summer camps held on college campuses around the state. 

Now in its 34th year, Washington Business Week exposes high school students to business concepts and career opportunities. Students can choose to attend the traditional Business Week Program or a pathway in Healthcare or Construction July 19-25. The programs are open to any high school student, grade 9-12, including private and home-schooled students. Two college credits are available.
