Title
Recognition of Students who Participated in Camp EmPower (NB)
Explanation
As part of its succession planning to address an aging workforce, GRU staff developed Camp EmPower, a spring break camp designed to expose middle school-aged students to careers in the utility industry. From March 24th through March 28, 2014, GRU held its 2nd annual camp. Eighteen (18) students from local schools spent their spring break with GRU staff, learning about a different area of the utility each day. The students were given hands-on experience with different jobs and participated in mock job interviews at the end of the week, followed by graduation.
Recommendation:
The City Commission hear a short presentation by staff and Camp EmPower students.
