Northumberland EDC plans high-school career fair; MapHub invoicing added to FY2027 budget
Summary
The commission discussed scheduling a Northumberland High School career fair (tentative weeks of March 23 or April 6), expanding emergency-services participation, and confirmed the MapHub expense is included in the submitted FY2027 budget.
The Northumberland County Economic Development Commission on Feb. 17 discussed workforce outreach and budget items, including plans for a high-school career fair and the incorporation of a MapHub fee into the FY2027 budget.
The Executive Director said planning is underway for a Northumberland High School career fair, with tentative dates the week of March 23 or the week of April 6, and suggested expanding participation from county emergency services to highlight workforce opportunities. Staff were assigned to finalize scheduling with the high school.
Commissioners were also told that an invoicing option for the MapHub/Do.Stay.Eat map has been identified and coordination with county administration on payment procedures is ongoing. The Executive Director confirmed the previously approved MapHub expense has been incorporated into the FY2027 EDC budget submission that was completed and filed.
Why it matters: the career fair is intended to connect local students with employers and showcase county workforce pathways; including MapHub in the budget secures funding for a county tourism/business mapping tool the commission approved earlier.
What’s next: the Executive Director will finalize the career fair schedule with Northumberland High School and complete MapHub invoicing arrangements with county administration.
