Xavier Crawford worked at the Chamber during the summer as part of the Youth Employment Program.
My name is Xavier Crawford and I am from Wichita. I have eleven brothers and sisters and recently graduated from Chester Lewis Virtual High School. I was connected with the Wichita Regional Chamber of Commerce through my experience with the
Workforce Alliance of South Central Kansas’ Summer Youth Employment Program. Through the program I created a resume, searched and interviewed for jobs and was provided education in soft skills and customer service. The program provided me the opportunity to experience a real-life work environment.
My duties at the Chamber included a variety of tasks. I was able to work on everything from mailing out invoices and creating aging reports to putting together orientation packets for new member meetings. It was fun to attend meetings that highlighted changes in our community and how we can continue to improve our city as a whole. In many ways, I feel like Wichita is stepping in the right direction and should keep up the good work.
My favorite part about my internship at the Chamber would be the staff. The accepted me as one of their own. They were warmhearted and caring and were always there for me. Working at the Wichita Regional Chamber of Commerce has helped show me what every work environment should look and feel like. They’ve taught me how I can not only better myself, but create value for those around me.
While working at the Wichita Regional Chamber of Commerce, I’ve had the opportunity to meet some important individuals in Wichita that could potentially help point me achieve the career I desire. I’ve recently applied to Wichita Area Technical College and look forward to studying aviation.
Our thanks to Xavier for his contributions to our team this summer and to the Workforce Alliance for leading the Youth Employment Project.
Xavier reported that some of his favorite assignments involved working with Accounting Clerk Peter Gaulding (pictured right).
