Developing Our Future Workforce: Scouting America’s Exploring Program

The Zebulon Chamber of Commerce is excited to share an opportunity for local businesses to play a direct role in developing our future workforce through Scouting America’s Exploring program.

What is Exploring?

Exploring is a unique career exploration program for young men and women ages 10 to 20. It’s designed to give students a real-world look at potential careers—connecting them with professionals in fields such as law enforcement, healthcare, engineering, technology, culinary arts, and many more.

Scouting America is currently seeking organizations in our community that are willing to sponsor and host an Exploring program, opening doors for students while helping businesses build early connections with motivated young people who may become future employees, interns, or advocates for your industry.

To learn more about how Exploring benefits businesses, we invite you to watch a short video featuring Thomas Donohue, past President and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, as he explains the value of employer engagement in career exploration.

If you are interested in learning more or exploring whether this opportunity is a good fit for your organization, please contact:
