The Kennebec Valley Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Augusta and Gardiner School Departments, transports over one hundred 7th graders from their respective schools on a day-long tour of different Chamber member businesses to expose the students to all the great businesses that are right HERE in the Kennebec Valley!
Our short-term goal is to spark an interest in a future career and to excite each student about what exists for them in our community. Our long-term goal is to develop our region’s workforce and economy of the future.
The Cony 7th graders got the amazing opportunity to explore several businesses including:
Augusta Fire Department
Augusta Police Department
Bangor Savings Bank
Central Maine Power
Delta Ambulance
