Preparing today’s students for tomorrow’s jobs is essential for the success of Delaware County’s businesses and community. That’s why the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Delaware County Workforce Development Board, is offering free, high-impact programs this fall that directly connect employers with students.
How Employers Can Get Involved
- High School Job Shadow Program

Welcome small groups of students to tour your workplace, meet employees, and see careers in action. - Middle School Career Days
Share your career journey and highlight opportunities within your business to spark curiosity at an earlier age.
Why It Matters

They’re about building long-term connections between Delaware County’s businesses, schools, and young talent,” said Trish McFarland, president of the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce. “By working with the Delaware County Workforce Development Board, we’re ensuring that students and interns have the tools they need to succeed and that employers have access to a stronger, more prepared workforce.”
