Members of the Granville County Chamber of Commerce have a couple more days to show support for local students and make them eligible to apply for a scholarship in June 2024 from the Chamber.
Lauren Roberson, the Chamber’s executive director, said the Education Committee has launched an initiative to recognize quarterly local students who work with Member businesses. Nominations for the first quarter are due by June 15. There are three attributes to keep in mind when considering a student to nominate:
- Attendance: Student comes to work when scheduled without excuses. Student is prompt and prepared to execute necessary job duties upon arrival.
- Work Ethic: Student is a hard worker and takes responsibility for their duties. They take initiative to reach organizational goals and are self-directed.
- Character: Student is approachable, friendly, and a team player. If student works directly with the public: they have a pleasant demeanor and a positive attitude. If student does not work directly with the public: they are respectful to management and fellow employees.
“Nominating a Granville County student who works for your organization will not only spotlight them, but your business as well,” Roberson said. The Chamber will notify the business when one of its nominees has been selected and will gather more information about the nominee.
To be eligible, the student employees must attend one of the following schools: Granville Central High School, JF Webb High School, South Granville High School, Oxford Preparatory School, Falls Lake Academy, Granville Early College, Granville Academy, or Phoenix Academy, or be a resident of Granville County.
Every student who is nominated will have the opportunity to apply for a scholarship that will be awarded in June 2024 from the Chamber.
