Rising Stars return
The Rising Stars Program officially kicked off Monday, October 9, 2012 with a dinner; the Prince Rupert & District Chamber of Commerce is looking forward to another successful season to the Rising Stars Program. Rising Stars is a networking mentorship program- a partnership between the Chamber of Commerce and Northwest Community Collegethat matches college students with
mentors in the business community. The Rising Stars become honorary chamber members for five months and attend chamber events with their mentor. The goal is to encourage students to remain in the community after graduation by assisting them to form connections with in the business community and introducing them to the employment and entrepreneurial
opportunities available once they complete their studies. “The Rising Stars program is one of the great successes of the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce. The collaboration between the Chamber and Northwest Community College in partnership with various financial institutions, industry and local business is entering its eighth year. The goal is
to help develop the next generation of entrepreneurs and community leaders through a mentorship program. To date over 100 students have gone through the program” said Jason Scherr, President of the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce. “Rising stars and mentors in the past have both found the program to very rewarding,” he said.
