The Partners-In-Education program links area businesses and industries with schools in Decatur, Hartselle and Morgan County to provide educational opportunities for the students and increase the awareness of area businesses and industries. Partnerships also heighten awareness of present and future job needs, help improve the education of future employees and customers, and increases understanding of the quality and needs of public school systems, whose health is vital to the community's economic well being.

This breakfast and work session for partners and schools is an opportunity to gather to discuss needs for the schools, available resources and a vision for their collaboration.

This year, the Chamber's annual State of Healthcare Forum will feature a series of conversations led by moderator Kelli Powers, President of Decatur Morgan Hospital. Through videos and discussions with healthcare professionals, the program will highlight the successes, opportunities and impact of our local healthcare system on our community. Please register by Tuesday, August 18. 

The Chamber’s annual Endless Opportunities Event brings together eighth-grade students from Morgan and Limestone Counties to explore the wide variety of career opportunities available right here in their own backyard after high school graduation. Students will gain exposure to careers that align with their interests and skills helping shape their future educational and career pathways through hands-on, interactive experiences led by local employers including science demonstrations, rocket-building activities, robot programming and more.
 
Approximately 2,500 students will participate in this two-day event, providing employers with a valuable opportunity to showcase their organization and connect with the next generation of talent while helping inspire and shape our future workforce.
