Youth Ambassador Jenni Silfies interviews Gunnar Fox on the fourth episode of The Business
and Industry Podcast. Fox is the Vice President and General Manager of the PPL Center, a
sports arena and event venue located in downtown Allentown, PA. It is the home of the Lehigh
Valley Phantoms, the Philadelphia Flyers’ primary development team.

This podcast hopes to inspire high school students and job seekers. We want them to examine
different career possibilities and pathways. This will help them gain the knowledge and skills
they need to succeed in their future careers.

Fox has been at the PPL Center since its construction. He managed an arena in New Mexico and
worked in Canada for two years prior to taking his current role at the PPL Center. In this episode, he
explains his educational journey, which gave him the business knowledge and skills he needs for
success in his career.

Fox talks about the many job opportunities that are available in the Lehigh Valley. These include
part-time, full-time, and summer jobs. They are accessible to both high school students and those
actively seeking employment.

At PPL Center, there are positions available in every department, including those in security, the
kitchen, the box office, and more. PPL Center offers countless opportunities. All job openings can
be found on their website.

When deciding whether to apply for a job, company culture is crucial. Because it is in the sports and
entertainment industry, The PPL Center is a desirable place to work.

Listen to the entire episode on YouTube or your preferred podcast platform where you’ll learn more about the working environment and company culture. Plus, you’ll gain essential career advice from
a Lehigh Valley professional!

Meet Cherelle Auguste!

Cherelle’s dedication and drive led her to be nominated for and ultimately selected to receive a Governor’s Achievement Award, and she’ll be recognized at the upcoming Pennsylvania Workforce Development Association Annual Conference, an incredible and well-deserved honor.

From day one, Cherelle stood out as a motivated job seeker, fully embracing every opportunity available through CareerLink. She went on to successfully complete welding training through LCTI, where her hard work paid off immediately with a job offer in hand upon graduation.

But Cherelle didn’t stop there, she continues to give back by returning to CareerLink to uplift, motivate, and encourage other job seekers on their own journeys. Her story is a powerful reminder of what’s possible with determination, support, and a commitment to growth.

Pictured is Cherelle with various CareerLink staff that worked hand in hand with her to achieve her goals.
