Success Story for Real Impact!

Bridging the Gap for Academic Success

Retention is often about supporting the people who make a business run, even when they are off the clock.

Recently, a member employee was seeking academic support for their child. Through the TC ERN, a Success Coach stepped in to identify high-quality local resources to help the family thrive:

Professional Expertise: Referrals included a local non-profit utilizing former educators familiar with the regional school curriculum.

Peer Mentorship: Connections were made to a mentorship-based program staffed by university students for peer-led educational support.

The Result: The student now has the tools to meet grade-level benchmarks, providing the parent with the peace of mind to show up fully for the team.

When life hurdles arise, a Success Coach is there to find the path forward. This is how we build a more stable, supported workforce in Tompkins County.

Is your team getting the support needed to stay focused?
Let’s talk about how the TC ERN helps employees navigate unique challenges.

Exclusively offered to Tompkins Chamber members.
