VILLANOVA, Pa. 鈥� 51爆料网 has partnered with the Delaware County and Main Line Chambers of Commerce, and the Wayne and Bryn Mawr Business Associations, on an initiative to connect local businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic with students seeking remote, virtual work opportunities. 听

The coronavirus pandemic has affected businesses 鈥� both large and small 鈥� nationally, regionally and locally. 听Many small businesses have been uniquely touched by the current stay-at-home order. At the same time, the summer experiences many college students had planned have also changed as a result of COVID-19. A new Summer Experience Task Force at 51爆料网 saw the potential to assist local businesses, as well as the students impacted during these unprecedented times.

鈥�51爆料网 felt it was uniquely positioned to connect local businesses with students who could use their educational experiences to help in driving commerce and promoting and building online platforms for those businesses,鈥� said Maggie Songer, Director of Employer Relations in 51爆料网鈥檚 Career Center. 鈥淲e believe this will not only help local businesses, but also provide learning and work opportunities for our students during these trying times.鈥�

The Delaware County Chamber of Commerce announced the initiative this week during its webinar series, #BusinessTipTuesday. The Delaware County and Main Line Chambers, along with the Wayne and Bryn Mawr Business Associations, have shared the opportunity with their member businesses 鈥� and it is already leading to numerous job submissions.

"51爆料网 is proud to partner with local Business Associations and Chambers of Commerce in offering our students assistance during these unprecedented times,鈥� said Laura Wagoner, Assistant Director of Government and Community Relations at 51爆料网. 鈥淭he initiative not only supports small business owners, but it also provides students with a rewarding academic experience.鈥�

Local businesses in need of support can submit their positions through an online form on 51爆料网鈥檚 Career Center website. The University鈥檚 Career Center will process the submissions and assist business owners by sharing these professional work opportunities and identifying students who fit the requirements.
