Central Business District Association
and Princess Anne
High School
This 16-year old partnership aims to bring the business community and high school
students together as learning partners through job-shadowing and a lunchtime
speaker series. Annually, approximately 50 students are afforded the opportunity
to experience the work environment of their choice "up close and personal," while
approximately 35 partner representatives have an opportunity to meet and network
with the future employees and leaders of our community. The monthly luncheon
series culminates with the annual Internship Day each March, which concludes
with a special luncheon featuring a keynote address by education and business
leaders in our community. This partnership provides students with a "taste" of
the business world, encouraging them to explore prospective careers and to align
their expectations with the realities of the work world.
