Work-Ready Boot Camp
In 2022, the Cody Country Chamber of Commerce started “Work-Ready Boot Camp” to train youth workers ages 14-18 on the soft skills they need to be successful in the workplace.
The first cohort of 10 students graduated in May of 2022, feeling much more prepared to seek and succeed in their first summer jobs.
This class is great for kids who are seeking their first job, kids who have worked before, and kids who already have a job lined up. These aren’t just work skills, they are life skills.
Students can list “Work-Ready Boot Camp” on their resumes and there will be an opportunity for job-matching of students with Chamber businesses.
This is what the Cody Country Chamber of Commerce is doing to support our members and address workforce issues that have been holding businesses back. We hope this will help the young people of Cody get more engaged in the workplace and become valuable contributors wherever they work.
The 2023 session of Work-Ready Boot Camp will begin on Wednesday, April 12th from 6PM to 8PM. The classes last for 2 hours and will take place every Wednesday evening for 6 weeks.
In this program, real local business owners will teach the following topics:
- April 12th – Communication
- April 19th – Enthusiasm and Attitude
- April 26th – Teamwork
- May 3rd – Networking
- May 10th – Problem Solving and Critical Thinking
- May 17th – Professionalism
Cody Calendar advertisers make this calendar possible.
