Schuylkill Career Connection Guide
The Schuylkill Leadership class of 1998 developed the career guide and updates are completed every two years. It is distributed to all 8th grade students in the 12 school districts in the county, and offers students information on many careers, job availability, salary and educational requirements for specific occupations. The Schuylkill Career Connection Guide is also available on-line at www.schuylkillchamber.com.

Industry Trade Show
This annual event is held at Schuylkill Technology Centers - North and South Campus. Invitations are sent to all 7th and 8th grade students in Schuylkill County and to Schuylkill County Employers who are operating a business directly related to the program areas offered at the campus. Through this career development program, students learn about each program area and the business representatives give an overview of their company and the career opportunities available in Schuylkill County.

The planning committee consists of staff from the Schuylkill Technology Centers, Schuylkill Chamber of Commerce, Schuylkill County Workforce Development, Manufacturers Association of Mid-Eastern Pennsylvania and the Team Pennsylvania CareerLink - Schuylkill Centers.
