For Immediate Release
Mammoth Lakes Chamber of Commerce Career Compass Program
The Mammoth Lakes Chamber of Commerce (MLCC) recently held a workforce development program called Career Compass. This program focused on career readiness by educating local youth on resume building, professional presentation, and application completion. Chamber members and local business leaders volunteered their time to conduct workshops in the classrooms of all ninth through eleventh grade students at Mammoth High School, Sierra High School and Jan Works Community School. These invaluable skills not only prepared students for the world of work but also instilled confidence and self-assurance as they step into adulthood.
Following the workshops, the Mammoth Lakes Chamber of Commerce hosted a Student Job Fair on Thursday, May 2 at the Mammoth High School MPR. Nearly 250 students from Mammoth High School, Sierra High School and Jan Work Community School visited the booths of over 20 different business within Mammoth Lakes. Students had the opportunity to explore various entry level positions and meet with prospective employers. For the businesses, employing local youth is essential to maintaining business operations at a time when housing availability is low and therefore, workforce recruitment and retention is challenging.
The Mammoth Lakes Chamber of Commerce thanks our partners at the various schools as well as the Mammoth Mountain Community Foundation for their support.
