Join us for Business Connections Meeting: Youth Employment Thursday, September 16th from 8:00 a.m. - 9:15 a.m. via Zoom.
As youth workforce development has continued to be a topic of focus for our business community, the actual youth have increasingly become a group of people we talk about rather than with.

We aim to change that with our September Business Connections event which will feature multiple students sharing their experiences as they navigated internship and job opportunities created by several of our local employers.

Learn how these local employers developed youth workforce opportunities and are cultivating the next generation of workers through the eyes of both the youth employee and the business.

Speakers include: 

• Abigail Hollingsworth, Senior Vice President in Global Environmental, Social and Governance at Bank of America
• Rob Curley, Executive Editor at The Spokesman Review
• Shafiq Moltafet, Intern Participant from the Teen Journalism Institute at The Spokesman Review
• Mark Bitz, Advanced Manufacturing, Engineering, and Physics Teacher at Spokane Valley Tech
• Jack Cramer, Maintenance Technician at Sterling International
• Victor Rapez-Betty, Communications Manager at Spokane Workforce Council
