Launch Now will be enormously helpful in initiating and maintaining connections with area schools,” says Michelle Glidden, Human Resources Manager of Chinburg Properties. “The platform eliminates cumbersome processes and administrative requirements, which are typically a ton of work. This means we can reach far more high school students than we could on our own.” |
Your role as a business owner would be to provide educational, work-based experiences such as internships, part-time jobs, facility tours, shadowing and mentorship opportunities. The exposure provided to students is particularly beneficial to local businesses and employers for a few reasons --
Brand and Industry Awareness: We know that students need exposure to a range of career options to make a choice that fits their individual needs. By stepping up as a community partner, you have the opportunity to showcase the unique benefits of your industry and company in a way that resonates with the students. Develop Robust Talent Pipelines: Because Launch Now focuses on students in grades 6-12, you have access to a diverse and untapped talent pool. Through these low-investment opportunities to train and observe students you can build meaningful connections with the upcoming workforce before committing to full-time hires. Community Support: As a local business, you know how much you rely on the support of your local community. Lending your time to educate students is a relevant and rewarding way to give back to your community. It also gives you added insight into the values of the upcoming workforce. |
