A key focus in our search for great talent is our Career Pathways program. In partnership with our shareholders at Blackstone, our goal is working to increase employment opportunities and career mobility for those from marginalized communities, overlooked groups, veterans, and underserved youth.
We partner with community-based organizations (CBOs) to identify, train, and support those same people throughout the course of their Great Wolf journey. We understand that sometimes there are those with limited skills, no skills, or skills from a completely different industry. Great Wolf does not view that as a barrier, but rather an opportunity to start something new. Career Pathways is our mission to close the opportunity gap and get talented people into stepping-stone roles and position them to take on advanced skill and management roles.
By working directly with both community-based organizations and public-private partners, we are building better vocational training programs and career placements for the above groups to help ensure their long-term employment.
Below are free resources for our lodges, CBOs, and other companies to use to help Opportunity Talent thrive in the workforce.
