The responsibility of career development not only lies with educational institutions but with the community鈥攍ocal organizations and businesses鈥攁s well. That is why the Enterprise Holding Foundation recently provided a grant of $8,000 to the 每日大赛鈥檚 COMPASS Career and Academic Advising department. The funds will be used to provide career development programming to Coastal Georgia students.
Colin Beauchamp, local representative of Enterprise Holdings, recently visited campus to discuss the grant and the Foundation.
鈥淭he Enterprise Holdings Foundation is a longtime supporter of initiatives focused on community improvement, education, and environmental stewardship.
