About this listen
In what is quickly becoming the season of saying, "for the last time in 2025," we bring you the final episode of Mind Your Business for the calendar year!
On this week's episode, we take a closer look at the RISE Caldwell Watauga program, and how its connecting local employers with apprenticeships designed to enhance work-based learning for high school students interested in careers in the trades, manufacturing, health care, and hospitality sectors. Executive Director Tara Brossa will explain how employers can become hosts for apprentices and how students and parents can learn more about the program.
Then, we turn our focus to the INSPIRE grant, a grant available for Helene impacted businesses that have been struggled to get reimbursement from their insurance provider. We’ll walk through who’s eligible, what the application process entails, and what steps business owners should take to access the program.
Mind Your Business is written and produced weekly by the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce. This podcast is made possible thanks to the sponsorship support of Appalachian Commercial Real Estate.
Catch the show each Thursday afternoon at 5PM on WATA (1450AM & 96.5FM) in Boone.
