Several years ago the Weld County School to Career Partnership began a process to identify skills that employers wanted individuals to have before entering the workforce. The Advocates for Workforce Excellence committee and the School to Career group have collaborated in establishing an information piece being shared with area school boards, teaching staff students, and business partners about the skills that are needed to be successful in the workplace. A career Fair was set up for high school students to bring in their resumes, and to provide input about suggested course work preparation. The business community through leadership Weld County has established the Readership Weld County program providing a literacy campaign to put books in the hands of 3rd graders. Through each of these collaborative efforts our community has begun to prosper.
Collaborative partnerships take a commitment of time, energy, and dedication.
Please join the Chamber in assisting to continue these beneficial partnerships.
