The Chamber Education Foundation sponsors education programs to strengthen the county’s workforce and job readiness, promote leadership development and support continued education through scholarship opportunities. Its flagship programs include Leadership Cape May County, a program that develops informed, committed and qualified business, community and civic leaders for Cape May County; and the Jersey Cape Experience Customer Service Training Program which provides free training for front line staff, managers and supervisors in the tourism industry. This spring, the Foundation partnered with Lower Cape May Regional School District in piloting a certificated customer service training program for high school students to better qualify them for seasonal and full time jobs in the county’s tourism driven economy.
On June 14, the Education Foundation will hold the FORE Education Golf Tournament at Cape May National Golf Club which raises money to fund scholarships for high school graduates and post-secondary adult education as well as professional development opportunities.
