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 21, 2016 through March 25, 2016, GRU held its 4^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 presentation by staff and Camp EmPower students.
