| Oct 15 Workforce NOW: College & Career Night |
College & Career Night
Wednesday, October 15, 2014
6:30 - 8:30p.m.
Spotsylvania Towne Centre
The Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce's Workforce NOW program,
in partnership with College Night, is hosting an Expo to offer employers the opportunity
to get in front of the region’s future workforce!
This is a unique opportunity for area employers to meet hundreds of students from
Planning District 16 and make them aware of hometown job opportunities.
Workforce NOW is asking employers to be part of the regional workforce solution
and help prepare the talent pipeline to meet future business needs.
A key component of this event will be providing
mini-mentor/coaching moments for the student attendees.
Given the economic challenges facing America, more students than ever
are mixing work and higher education after high school graduation.
As employers, we also know that some students do not have the desire and/or the means to continue their education immediately following graduation--so why not offer some alternatives!
Our Mission: to develop and sustain partnerships
to support and encourage
workforce readiness and workforce development.
Our Vision: A workforce ready to meet the Fredericksburg region’s current
and future employment needs.
Reserve your Expo table today for College and Career Night!!

| Oct 28 Thirteenth Annual Goodwill Awards |
Help us celebrate and honor the Businesses that give back to our Community at the Thirteenth Annual Goodwill Awards!
Hear from renowned motivational speaker & comic, Mr. Brett Leake!
Brett has facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy and in 1991, became the first comedian with a physical disability to appear on NBC's The Tonight Show.
The Goodwill Awards celebrate the involvement of the business community with
non-profit agencies in our region. When a business is OF the community and not merely IN the community, the effects are dramatic. To be of a community shows that a company has gone all-in to make the region where it operates better for their employees, customers, and all residents.
Thank you to our event Sponsors!
