The Greater Meredith Program oversees several signature programs to preserve the past, promote the present, and plan for the future of this beautiful, dynamic, and flourishing community.

We are a public/private partnership established to benefit the InterLakes School District

The career partnership program is an opportunity for students to make connections with local businesses to give them exposure to future careers.   The experience provides a variety of educational and experiential learning opportunities and the chance to gain real-world skills.

The program is a collaborative effort among our business community, local educators, various civic organizations and the municipality and is funded through the Greater Meredith Program, the Interlakes School District and the generous donations of local organizations and businesses.

What is the difference between a job shadow & an internship

A job shadow is a short-term (usually one day), snapshot of a career.  Students follow and observe for a day in the life of a local professional.  The purpose of this experience is to expose students to various career opportunities.

An internship is a long-term unpaid experience, i.e. semester.  In an internship, a student learns the many facets and faces of the business to gain relevant knowledge and experience in a job field that interests them.organizations and businesses.
