Business Education Roundtable

The Business Education Roundtable (BER) promotes communication and collaboration between local business and education.  Thanks to Southern Tier Economic Growth (STEG), The Department of Labor, Elmira City School District and the Chamber, local high school teachers have seen their academics in action at members firms throughout the year. Recent success by the BER includes:

• Technology teachers visited Vulcraft of New York
• Foreign language teachers toured Schweizer Aircraft
• Business teachers toured Elmira Savings Bank, FSB
• Family and consumer service teachers toured Arnot Ogden Medical Center
• Mathematics teachers visited The Hilliard Corporation and Hunt Engineers, Architects & Land Surveyors, PC

In addition, The Big 5 project continues as a successful promotion of the five basic characteristics of the fundamental requirement that students and workers alike exude a positive work ethic:

1. Be honest.
2. Show up on time every day.
3. Be ready for work.
4. Be willing to learn.
5. Maintain a good attitude.
