Claysburg-Kimmel FBLA Partners with NPC

The members of Claysburg-Kimmel Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) has announced a partnership with a local business.

NPC Inc. has been a long-time supporter of C-K FBLA, providing financial support, mentoring, job shadowing and other needed resources. NPC Inc. has also provided financial support and judges on the regional, state and national levels.

Members of C-K FBLA and executives from NPC Inc. met Nov. 7 to discuss a new partnership. C-K members Hayley Jenkins, Benjamin Weiland and Jocelyn Shultz will lead the project, and the three will be competing in the FBLA competitive event, Partnership With Business.

C-K and NPC Inc. will have a special event in November that will kick off the first of many parts of this project. On Thursday, Nov. 21, C-K FBLA members will spend the day at NPC Inc. collaborating and volunteering with a career fair event.

Other events have been planned throughout the year where students will have the opportunity to learn about the operations of the company and attend financial literacy classes. Students will then get hands-on work experience as volunteers in the organization.

Both the members of C-K FBLA and the employees of NPC Inc. are looking forward to a successful partnership this year and beyond.

"We are so thankful to have NPC, Inc. in our community supporting all that we do each year," C-K FBLA member Hayley Jenkins said.
