“The Chamber is strengthening the region’s economy by ensuring our business community is proactively communicating its workforce needs to our most valuable local work talent pipeline – our schools,” said Matt Mahood, SJSV Chamber President & CEO. “Strive San Jose, a program of the Chamber, provides the connections necessary between business and education to make certain we empower our kids with the skills necessary to be successful in the Silicon Valley workplace.”
“These are the kinds of innovative partnerships that ESUHSD seeks in order to prepare each one of our students to be both college and career ready,” said Chris Funk, ESUHSD Superintendent. “Last summer, 41 ESUHSD students received paid internships through our partnership with the Chamber and we look forward to exploring additional opportunities. We are thrilled to hear about the Advisory Board appointees and for their support.”
