For Employers:- If you would like to join the businesses already sponsoring youth apprenticeships in Baldwin County’s hospitality and tourism industry, contact Ed Bushaw, 251-943-1065 or ed@southbaldwinchamber.com. Please understand—your only commitment is to offer these students an opportunity for a 1,000 hrs (minimum) work experience and work with the Chamber and the schools to document hours. There is no contractual obligation between the student, the school or the employer. Participants must be a member in good standing with the South Baldwin Chamber of Commerce.
