Discover. Develop. Dream.

There is great talent in our community, and we want to be part of developing and retaining that talent by connecting local schools & local employers. The Magnify Initiative is designed to create career focused opportunities for students and a pipeline of talent for employers. We are pursuing this vision by partnering with educators and employers in our area to establish the use of career aptitude tests, job shadowing, internships, and more!

We want students to discover their strengths and aptitudes and learn how those connect to careers. We want students to develop their skills and talents. We want to see students dream about their future and how they can use their skills and talents in our community.
