ABOUT THE CHAMBER

Employability Certificate Program  

This program was developed by the Leadership East County Class of 2003 to address the issue of employment readiness and job retention for high school teens.  This is a 10-hour program for at risk students, covering topics such as:  attitude, appearance, attendance and accountability.  Business leaders are invited to participate by addressing these issues in the classroom.

The goal of the certificate program is to enhance job readiness for teens, assuring that students are prepared to enter the workplace.  For the employer, this represents the opportunity to hire young people with stronger skills, thus reducing the risk to the employer through increased retention.  The Chamber presents students who complete the program with a certificate of employability.

The Western Association of Chamber Executives chose this program as one of the "Best New Programs" of 2007.  For more information on this program contact the Chamber at (619) 440-6161.
