Local teachers are given a ten-week short course on the private enterprise system in general and the Queen Anne's County businesses in particular. The Chamber of Commerce brings teachers into the local business each week for an intensive inside look into how those businesses operate. The Mentoring Program provides role models for students. The goal of the program is to improve the attendance and school performance of students. Mentors and students meet weekly during the regular school day on school property.
Employers provide release time for mentors to go to their local schools to meet with their mentees.
This program targets students with poor attendance, low self-esteem, disruptive behaviors and low grades. Students in their Junior or Senior year are provided the opportunity to intern with a local business in their career interest. Students work for school credit in the Internship Program. They are unpaid work-based experiences but students gain valuable experience in a real world setting. A Spring Internship Fair brings many students and employers from the community together.
