BRATTLEBORO-Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation (BDCC) will be hosting its Youth Career Bootcamp this summer for high school students from July 14 though 18 at the Boys & Girls Club of Brattleboro.
This is the third year BDCC has run the program at Boys & Girls Club of Brattleboro. Students who register this year for the Career Bootcamp will also receive a free one-year membership to the club.
Also new this year is a longer format, with more field trips. Students will explore career and training pathways by visiting downtown businesses, town offices, public safety facilities, the "backstage tour" of the Brattleboro Food Co-op, the Community College of Vermont downtown campus, and more.
The Bootcamp is designed for rising juniors, seniors, and recent graduates who are unsure of their next step beyond high school and who want to learn more about career pathways right in their backyard. It will feature employer panels, job site visits, and soft skills workshops.
Students will learn how to explore career pathways through jobs, training, and educational opportunities. Students may opt to receive support applying to local jobs and internships as well. Lunch will be provided.
The trainings are led by Christy Betit, BDCC's Pipelines and Pathways program manager, who works year-round in Windham County high schools, providing career education and experiences.
