Summer Careers Academy

The Summer Careers Academy is a new Registered Youth Apprenticeship program designed as an eight week summer career training program that connects local learners (ages 16-24) with new skills and paid work experiences in compelling career pathways. The inaugural program (2022) is launching in Orange County, NC with a focus on the skilled trades and will expand to other industries (i.e., health care and IT) and counties in subsequent years. The Summer Careers Academy is powered in part by The Chamber For a Greater Chapel Hill-Carrboro. For questions, please contact Katie Loovis, Summer Careers Academy Steering Committee Member and Vice President for External Affairs, The Chamber For a Greater Chapel Hill-Carrboro, at (919) 696-0781 (cell).
