Business for Education Job Shadow Day on April 22

Calling all businesses! Would you be willing to host high school students for Business for Education Job Shadow Day (formerly Groundhog Job Shadow Day)? On Thursday, April 22, students from our area will be spending the day with businesspersons in a variety of industries and professions. Job shadowing provides young people with an opportunity to get a firsthand look into the world of work. In turn, businesses can positively impact students by sharing practical work experience and learned life lessons that will help students make informed career decisions. Please assist us in preparing and inspiring our students to succeed! Please click here for the registration form. For more information, please contact Ailerua Crawford at 912.790.7822 or acrawford@georgia.ja.org. Please return your registration via fax to 912.790.0446 on or before Friday, February 26.
Savannah is not only a top tourist destination but also an ideal city for business or family. Our diverse economy forms a strong business and employment base ranging from manufacturing to distribution, from tourism to military, from healthcare to port operations and retail sectors.
Savannah is home to Hunter Army Airfield and Fort Stewart military bases. Combined, the two bases employ more than 42,000 people and generate an annual direct federal expenditure of $1.4 billion dollars. We support our military through various councils.
As Savannah flourishes with an assorted economy, our need for a trained workforce rises. We at the Chamber are dedicated to providing Savannah with a workforce that is educated and trained. Our workforce development staff works diligently with the Savannah-Chatham School Board Council to make sure citizens have opportunities to develop necessary skills.
The Chamber also provides assistance with governmental affairs by lobbying on the local, state and federal levels. The business community needs the unified voice the Chamber provides. The Savannah-Chatham county area has a place at the table, and if we don't speak up other regions will split our piece of the pie.
Currently, 2,000+ diverse member businesses are involved in the Chamber. Our member services staff is dedicated to bringing together the businesses of Savannah to enhance Savannah's economy. Member services provide a variety of ways to get and stay involved in the community.
