Chamber Hosts Career Event to Help Develop Members' Workforce

On Friday, February 9th, The Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce hosted the 12th annual Great Careers Conference at Renton Technical College.  This program helps to develop our members’ workforce by showing Issaquah School District students in grades 9-12 the many high-wage, high-growth career opportunities that don’t require a 4-year degree.  Students visited over 25 Expo tables representing a wide range of industries and educational programs and took a tour of the RTC campus.
