Career Connector helps build future workforce

GENESEO – The Education
to Employment division of
the Livingston County Area
Chamber of Commerce has
launched the Career Con-
nector platform powered by
Nepris to educate and inspire
students about the career op-
portunities that exist in our lo-
cal communities.
The first five live industry
chats which ran in April and
May reached 56 classrooms
and more than 1,000 stu-
dents both locally and in 14
other states across the coun-
try. Those events featured
American Rock Salt (“Digging
into Geology at the Mine”),
UR Medicine | Noyes Health
(“Let’s Move! All About Ca-
reers in Physical Therapy”)
Livingston Associates (“Ca-
reers in Construction”), Ba-
rilla (“Pasta, Packaging and
You”), and Genesee Construc-
tion (“Diggin’ Up the Dirt on
Skilled Trades”).
This interactive program
allows students to begin think-
ing about careers as early as
kindergarten, continuing
through their senior year, by
connecting them to employers
on the job site in their class-
rooms in real time.
With the help of $135,000
in funding over the next three
years from the Livingston
County Board of Supervisors,
the Chamber was able to de-
velop this project and bring
local employers on board at no
cost to those employers during
the initial three-year period.
The goal of the Career Con-
nector of Livingston County
NY is to help students expand
and explore career horizons
and learn where their interests
and abilities can take them.
The Nepris platform has
operated for almost a decade
providing a variety of engage-
ment models to bring local
employers and school dis-
tricts together in one place to
scale the industry and educa-
tion connections. It enables
matching the skills of working
professionals to curriculum
needs and connects them vir-
tually with students to bring
abstract lessons to life, men-
tor students on class projects,
provide insight into a day in
the life of a professional and
offer virtual tours of workspac-
es.
“Data shows that students
begin self-limiting their career
opportunities as early as first
grade. You do what your par-

50 plus 1: Chamber marks milestone with gala
By BRENDAN MCDONOUGH
bmcdonough@livingstonnews.com
The Livingston County Area
Chamber of Commerce cele-
brated more than five decades
in business with its 50th Anni-
versay Gala on April 23 at Wil-
low Creek Event Center, 3100
Lakeville Rd., Lakeville
“50 plus one. We missed our
opportunity to celebrate our
golden anniversary because
of COVID,” Laura Lane, the
Chamber’s president and CEO,
said in an interview with The
Livingston County News prior
to this spring’s gala.
Along with the gala, five
people were recognized with
awards. “We really wanted to
award members that repre-
sent the different areas that the
chamber of commerce really
touches and interacts with,”
said Lane.
The Chamber has more than
600 members. Its office is at
4635 Millennium Drive in Gen-
eseo, but Lane says that was not
always the case.
“Physically it had office space

ris, to my understanding it is
where Questa Lasagna is locat-
ed. Then, we had a small stint
and there used to be a bank
right where Wendy’s is located
and we had a very short stint
there and then we moved back
at the end of Millennium Drive,
which houses Mikala’s Quilting,
we were in a back office there
and then worked to procure the
land were we are now at Millen-
nium Drive and they began the
The Chamber Factor
process to establish the build-
ing,” said Lane.
Lane says the credit of the or-
ganization’s success is due to its
early founders. “It was the result
of great visionaries that came
together back in the early 1970s
and really set the framework
for our success. It has also been
the result of five decades of
boards, boards of directors that
have come together and really
managed this organization and

managed the needs of this com-
munity in way that set us up for
continued success,” said Lane.
The Chamber has changed
over the years, but one thing
Lane said has remained the
same has been its commitment
to the community. “I think just
from day one, that focus on our
efforts to support the business
community and help them
grow has helped to establish the
credibility that comes with the
chamber of commerce.
“There is a nationwide study
that was done and it showed
that from a consumer stand
point 80% of consumers are
more likely to shop at or work
with a business that they know
is a member of their chamber of
commerce,” said Lane.
Along the way there have also
been some ups and down with
the business community and
without a doubt Lane said the
pandemic been one of the most
difficult challenges.
“In my 20-year tenure as (a)
chamber of commerce execu-
tive, I have been at three cham-
bers now and COVID is one of
July 2022 • 7
those chapters in a book some-
day that I might write. It would
definitely have it own chapter,
maybe two.
“It was a significant impact
for the business community,
society as a whole really and
we are really proud of the role
the Chamber was able to play
during that time in helping
business navigate the ups and
downs that came with COVID,”
said Lane.
As for the future, Lane said no
one knows what that will hold
but one thing that will remain is
the relationships they have with
the local business community.
“Chambers are constantly
evolving because our com-
munities and our businesses
are constantly evolving and so
to that end we will evolve with
them,” Lane said. “But I think
the one thing that will always re-
main constant for our Chamber
is that we are a connector. Our
role in connecting business to
who and what they need to be
connected to will always be a
constant as we evolve over the
next 50 years.”

4 things small businesses must
do this holiday shopping season
By Christina Metcalf
Now is the time to be
thinking about how you’re
preparing for the holiday
shopping season – with some
of the biggest shopping days
of the entire year.
Since every sale can help
your future marketing, it’s
essential that over the next
few months you think not
only of the money, but the
data you can garner from
each sale as well.
But don’t stress.
Doing this now will cer-
tainly give you a leg up this
holiday shopping season.
Things You Need to Do
During Small Business Sea-
son
Don’t let the biggest sales
season go by without gather-
ing this data and implement-
ing some of these activities to
help with future marketing:
Build your list
You have a lot of people
interested in what you sell
or the service you provide.
When people buy from you,
ask them if they’d be willing
to sign up for a VIP list that
will give them special dis-
counts or coupons. They get
savings, you get a way to stay
in contact with them.
Notice the also boughts
Ideally, you have a point-

but the data you can garner from each sale as well.
of-sale system that could
quantify the sales data you’re them. People who have pur-
gathering to tell you what
people who buy from you
often buy together.
But if you don’t have that
in place, you can do it man-
ually by paying attention to
items or services that sell
well together. Then get that
information to your staff so
that they may make satisfy-
ing suggestions to custom-
ers.
Email last-minute
offers or deals
If you already have an
email list of past custom-
ers, send out a discount or

in driving sales because
they allow people to buy for
two people inexpensively,
get more for less, or keep a
special something for them- you have for analysis, the
selves.
Who doesn’t love that?
Excel in social media
Now is the time to blow up
your engagement on social
media.
Search on social for
hashtags of things you sell
or specialize in. If you find
someone looking for those
things, you can start a con-
versation about it.
If you’re sold out of the
item they want, suggest
where they might be able to
find it. They’ll appreciate the
help.
Post funny videos.
Interview people about
their holiday shopping
(don’t forget that media re-
lease!).
Highlight some of your
or your best sellers.
Analyze what gets results
and do more of it. Tag your
local chamber in these posts
and they might share your
content as well.
This is a critical time to
get sales, but revenue isn’t
the only benefit to your busi-
ness.
Every sale provides critical
information about your ideal
client. The more information
closer you are to the kind of
personalized marketing that
gets results.

THE STATE OF
SMALL BUSINESS
By Frank Kenny
The chamber is the “Voice
of Business” and as the “Voice
of Business,” there’s some-
thing we feel the need to ex-
press to everyone in this com-
munity. Inflation is being felt
everywhere, from Fortune 500
companies to solopreneurs
just starting out.
However, the difference be-
tween large-scale companies
and smaller ones are their re-
serves. According to JP Mor-
gan Chase, the average small
business runs with only 27
days of operating expenses in
reserves. Increases in utilities,
goods and services, real estate,
and gas costs; supply chain
issues affecting delivery; and
employee shortages have tak-
en a toll on businesses, espe-
cially our smaller ones.
In this challenging time,
while you are dealing with
your own concerns over
stretching your paycheck, we
want to share some things you
might not realize.

The program allows stu-
dents to explore career options
now, said Grouse, “when it is
at no cost to them; not in the
middle of their college years
when that exploration is com-
ing with a significant price
tag.”
The Career Connector pow-
ered by Nepris allows busi-
nesses to share a day in the
life on the job and provide
information on the training,
education, and pathways for
students to move into these
fields. Corporate partners
can scale, manage, and track
their employee engagement
through education outreach
to improve students’ career
awareness and readiness.
“I think it is difficult for stu-
dents to figure out what they
want to be when they go up
or what they want to focus on,
so a platform like this is huge.
What you are doing is support-
ing the career development of
an individual, which in turn,
supports a business so the
business sees the benefits of
that,” said Joe Bucci Jr., envi-
ronmental health and safety
manager at American Rock
Salt.
“You don’t have to drive
elsewhere, or relocate to get a
good job, there are terrific jobs
right here in Livingston Coun-
ty,” said Grouse. “The goal in
exposing students to these
local opportunities is to en-
courage them to remain or re-
turn here after post-secondary
studies or training, build our
talent pipelines, and strength-
en the fiber of the local com-
munities.”

form, people can contact An-

Costs are going up. These
businesses have held out as

that haven’t already will raise
their prices. It’s inevitable. Be-
fore you react to this, please
consider…
RESPONDING TO
INCREASED PRICES
Businesses need our sup-
port, and they need our pa-
tience.
This is a last resort for many
small businesses because they
are very close to their custom-
ers. They don’t want to pass
on their costs. They know cus-
tomers have their own pricing
concerns and their paychecks
are not going nearly as far as
they used to.
You may see closures on
days the businesses used to
be open or experience limited
hours to help with staff short-
ages.
Be understanding of this.
By limiting their hours, they
are trying to remain in busi-
ness and cover the employee
shortage they’re facing.
Businesses may reduce
the services they offer or the
secondary costs. Bars, for in-
stance, may cut back on bands
