The Downtown Chamber and partners are launching Student-to-Employer Wednesday to connect the group’s S2E student program partners with employer-members that can provide students with work experiences with job shadows, internships, apprenticeships and other occupational activities like reverse job fairs and career nights, according to news release from the chamber. The long-term goal is to boost Des Moines’ sustainable and inclusive workforce by increasing the number of student/employer connections. S2E partners include Central Campus, DMACC Urban Campus, Evelyn K. Davis Center for Working Families, Gear Up Iowa, iJAG, and Oakridge Neighborhood. The initiative kicks off at 9 a.m. Wednesday at the Evelyn K. Davis Center for Working Families.
