HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Reno County Chamber of Commerce is taking the wishes of teachers and local companies seriously when it comes to connecting the two entities.

Back in July, school administrators, teachers, advisers and company leaders all came together for a town hall on connecting students to these companies and teaching them the skills needed for success.

On Oct. 15, 51 teachers and advisers from the Buhler school district will tour three local companies to discuss ways to connect students with opportunities in the workplace and to ensure a future workforce for the area.

Chamber President Debra Teufel explains:

 

The group will visit Collins Bus, Superior Boiler Works and Kuhn Krause during the day. Teufel says she hopes to schedule other companies and school districts for similar meetings in the future.
