JBC to Launch Leadership Program for High School Students
Senator Catharine Young to participate in, endorse program

Jamestown, N.Y.—Jamestown Business College (JBC) announces the launch of a new leadership program designed for promising high school seniors in Chautauqua County. “The JBC Leadership Launch” with Senator Catharine Young is slated to begin with the fall 2011 term. 

     As part of the program, nominated seniors will participate with Senator Young and JBC administration and faculty in a series of leadership activities. The five-week program, which will include onsite and online activities, will provide students with the opportunity to learn more about their own leadership capabilities.

         

JBC President, David Conklin, is excited for the program to begin. “We have experienced great success with professional and leadership training at the college, and we are excited to share this experience with our community and area students.”

Senator Catharine Young said, “Building and acquiring leadership skills are essential to a person’s success in life.  I am thrilled to be partnering with JBC that has developed a program designed to tap into the exceptional leadership and entrepreneurial qualities in our students that, too often, go unnoticed, unchallenged and untrained. This is an exciting and rare opportunity that will give these students the tools and skills allowing them to make an immediate impact in their schools and community.”

High school counselors and teachers will be receiving nomination materials in the near future.

            Jamestown Business College offers business-focused Associate and Bachelor degrees and certificate programs that include targeted professional development activities.
