CSO instructor speaks at chamber luncheon


Font size: [A] [A] [A]

WEIGH SCALES — Central Susquehanna Opportunities (CSO) Inc. in Shamokin has a new business and education instructor who hopes to further develop a connection to the business and school community.

Amy Bossler, a 2002 graduate of Shamokin Area High School, introduced herself to those attending the Brush Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Christmas luncheon Tuesday at the Wayside Inn.

Bossler, who has two years of teaching experience and is a 2006 graduate of Bucknell University, surveyed the chamber crowd in seeking leads for job shadowing, business tours and school speakers. She hopes to offer workshops in schools on topics such as workplace skills and etiquette.

Also, Bossler plans to be involved in the chamber’s career symposium this spring, and will work with the chamber in promoting the School Counts! program that encourages attendance and good performance in school.

Among the programs Bossler and others at CSO offer in support of youth is Central Pennsylvania YouthBuild, a paid training opportunity for those 18 to 24 years old who have no job or diploma and are looking for direction in life.

For more information, call CSO at 644-6575.

At Tuesday’s meeting, the chamber raised money for its own Business and Education Committee through an auction of Christmas gifts from attending members.

At the Jan. 19 monthly meeting, the chamber will hear from the two Drexel University students who are working with the Keystone Energy Technology Enterprise Center (KETEC) in Mount Carmel on rehabilitating blighted houses with “green” energy technology.
