Business & Education Partnership
About
The Chamber of Commerce believes it is important to connect the two worlds of Business and Education in order for our future workforce and economy to continue to grow. The Chamber works towards this mission through their efforts of Northwest Ottawa County Business Education Partnerships. This effort contains many programs linking the workplace and the classroom. Below are descriptions and updates about several of the programs.
Boomerang
Boomerang, a career exploration event, is held annually at Grand Haven High School, to attract local talent back to the area after pursuing further education. The goal is achieved by showcasing local companies and their various career paths available to students from area high schools.
Ferry/Voyager Elementary Neighborhood Connections
Grand Haven Area Public Schools’ Ferry and Voyager elementary students in grades K-4 are working with local businesses to create a truly unique opportunity for students and businesses alike to explore, ask questions and solve problems – together.
