“Partnering with the Chamber of Commerce has elevated ELSNER’s engagement with the Hanover community, particularly in our Workforce Development efforts. We partnered with the Chamber to implement a first of its kind Pre-apprenticeship and Apprenticeship Program which has allowed us to diversify our hiring practices and help close the skills gap needed to replace a retiring workforce. Chamber membership has facilitated long-lasting relationships with local school districts and other area businesses which is critical to our success.”
