Title

Special Recognition of GRU Camp EmPower students (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 20^th, 2017 through March 24^th, 2017, GRU held its 5^th annual camp.  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.  

Fiscal Note

None

Recommendation

The City Commission hear a presentation by staff and Camp EmPower students.
