The Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce is partnering with the Warren County R-III School District to prepare local students for their futures. The Chamber is offering to connect students with businesses in a number of ways, including:
• Ongoing internship at a business.
This internship would last a semester for two class periods Tuesday through Friday (approximately 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.).
The student would intern for a class grade and not for payment.
The business would work with the teacher/coordinator to create the necessary criteria for their ideal intern.
Students would be matched through an application process.
Students would have to provide their own transportation from the school to the business.
• Real life business projects.
This would entail students taking on necessary projects for a business in their classroom.
The business would submit their needs (i.e. website, marketing research, marketing materials, etc.) to the teacher/coordinator, who would then assign the task to the students.
The students would be graded based on their involvement in the assignment.
• Opportunity to shadow a business for a day.
The business would assign a staff member to host a student for the day, showing them the various aspects of that business.
The teacher/coordinator would match the student and business based on their interests.
Any business that is interested in participating in any of these program offerings is asked to contact Jan Olearnick at warrentoncoc@socket.net, or Dr. Gregg Klinginsmith at klinginsmithgt@warrencor3.k12.mo.us.
