🤝 Building community connections with the Community Summer Jobs Program (CSJP)! Each year, the ExxonMobil Foundation sponsors the CSJP, connecting Houston-area non-profits with college interns to gain professional experience during the summer. We recently kicked off this year's program, welcoming 35 young professionals. The opening event included activities to meet each other and representatives from the organizations they will support. The day also featured a keynote speaker, fun ice-breaker games and workforce development sessions to sharpen their skills!
