So happy two of our Evans County Educators are participating in this great event.

School might be on break, but the learning continues for educators in the 8-county RISE region! Today marked the return of the 2026 Educator Externship. We kicked off the week at Georgia Quick Start where participants explored the future workforce demands in the Savannah area. Tomorrow they team up with companies for an immersive week in their own counties.

It was a pleasure hosting partners from across our region at the Claxton Bakery, Inc. today!

We were joined by Ella Randal with S.E.D.A. (Savannah Economic Development Authority), Adam Kennedy, Director of Evans/Claxton County Economic Development, and Kiera Canton and Chad Jackson, interns with World Trade Center Savannah.

The group stopped by to film some exciting new content and, of course, enjoy a few samples of our famous Claxton Fruit Cake. We love seeing the continued support for local industry and heritage brands in Georgia!
