Career Awareness
Connecting students with business leaders to provide them a real-world sense of an industry and expose them to different career paths.
A talented workforce is the most critical element to fostering and maintaining economic growth and opportunity. The Community & Economic Development department, through a coordinated effort among industry, education, non-profit, and local government, promotes access to training that matches citizens with tangible and relevant skills and businesses with the talent they need.

"My favorite part of hosting an ASPIRE intern was seeing our day-to-day operations through someone else’s eyes...I was hesitant to host high school students, but our interns have gone above and beyond and brought a fresh perspective"
