Give nowRoane County industries help educators shape curriculum, host job shadowing, and run work-study programs — so students graduate with skills your floor actually needs.
A short conversation about your workforce needs, the roles you struggle to fill, and the skills you'd want a graduate to walk in with.
Host one educator visit, staff a career day table, take on a co-op student, or sponsor a full pathway. Start small — most partners grow from there.
Students who spend time in your building graduate knowing your industry exists — and many come back to it.
