a publication of the BBRC

Dear Subscribers,


If you aren't on our regular weekly newsletter then you probably missed the news that the BBRC is now the BBTRC, or the Bath Brunswick Topsham Regional Chamber! While we've always served Topsham, we're thrilled to acknowledge the community's growth and impact on the region by officially adding them to our name. We're working through the legal stuff but we anticipate being official and rolled out in March.


Lots of Brunswick Landing news below including an opportunity for local businesses to get involved in an internship program we're running with the United Way of Mid Coast Maine. Funded by grants, both programs are an incredible way to both showcase your business and get involved with the workforce of tomorrow.


We're always looking for submissions for future newsletters, never hesitate to send them over!

ο»ΏWorksites Needed for Two Incredible Programs

Our chamber has partnered with the United Way of Mid Coast Maine on two incredible workforce programs through the Working Communities Challenge.


Connecting to Tomorrow Internship Program

Two dozen students will have the opportunity to earn either 20 or 40 hours of real world experience in a career path that interests them.

  • For the business, it’s a great way to showcase the career opportunities that your industry provides and connect with a potential leader of tomorrow.
  • Students get real-world experience, development of business communications skills, and a glimpse of what your future could be. As a bonus, each participant that completes the program will receive a stipend.


We're looking for businesses interested in hosting students on their site to showcase their career path. E-mail Cory for more details or to schedule a sit-down to go over it. 

 

Connecting to Tomorrow Inclusivity Project

Many of our businesses need help connecting with the workforce of tomorrow. The next generation of employees values inclusivity. Some employers and organizations have been early adopters of inclusive policies, helping those who may belong to different races, genders, backgrounds, socio-economic levels, or other identifiers be present and welcome in their workplace. We would love ALL employers to see how advanced Human Resource (HR) and workplace policies can help attract, retain, and engage their current staff. 


The Connecting to Tomorrow Inclusivity Project is a film-based project. Student film groups will meet and connect with local employers who have established inclusive policies. They'll create a 3–5 minute video about the organization and it will be shown at a workforce celebration in May. E-mail Cory for more details or to schedule a sit-down to go over it.

  • 2,287 new jobs have been created
  • TechPlace is home to 38 early-stage technology businesses
  • Over $272 million of taxable property value has been added to the Brunswick property tax roles, and over $7.8 million in Topsham
  • There are 1,470 housing units, 500+ of which were built since 2018


You can read the full letter here.
