Work-based learning opportunities such as paid internships, apprenticeships, and job shadowing experiences are a powerful tool for helping students choose a fulfilling career path.
Last school year, Volusia County Schools Superintendent Dr. Carmen Balgobin asked the regional business community to provide 350 paid internships for students. Local businesses didn't just meet that goal; they exceeded it by a large margin. The Daytona Regional Chamber encourages all businesses to explore how they can support student learning in the workplace because building the future workforce is one of the most important issues businesses will face for the foreseeable future.
