The Business & Education Alliance, Inc. is excited to announce our newest program offered in conjunction with Hunterdon County Chamber of Commerce (HCCC). The Shadowing Program is a wonderful program being offered to Hunterdon County students.

The Shadowing Program is designed to provide the students with the valuable insight to what businesses require of employees and enforces the school-to-work connection. Students shadow a local business professional in their field of study and/or interest. The desired outcome is a long-term internship.
