First State Times

Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce recently issued the following announcement.

There are at least two things business leaders can agree on: One - finding good employees is getting more difficult and Two – we need to find a way to keep the young talent we have in our colleges here in Delaware.

What we have found is that the student population is not aware of who our local companies are, let alone what opportunities these businesses have to offer them.  

So, the CDCC has developed a program to address both the business and students needs –

The Emerging Employee Expo (e3)

This event will be hosted on 3 of our college/university campuses in Dover:

Wilmington University – Wednesday, January 22nd, 2020 - 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Wesley College – Wednesday, January 29th, 2020 – 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Delaware State University – Wednesday, February 5th, 2020 – 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This event will function as a traveling job far at each location.   For this first set of Expos, we will be limiting our number of participating business to just 20. Business representatives need to come prepared to talk with students about employment opportunities, internships and job shadowing programs. 

20 Minute - Informational Sessions will also be held in conjunction with these Expos. The topics for the sessions will include:

employed. Get tips on how to land that job!

equipped.  How to dress the part.

engaged. What are “soft skills” and why are they important

empowered The ins and outs of business etiquette.

The cost will be:

$275.00 – to attend all 3

$200.00 – to attend 2

$100.00 – to attend 1

(A table, 2 chairs and linen cloth will be provided.)

All students who participate and meet the set requirements of attending informational sessions and meeting businesses will receive a Certificate of Employability.
