Vibrancy and longevity of a small rural community like Wishek is dependent upon strong businesses offering diverse jobs that will attract and retain workers. To that end, the Wishek Job Development Authority created Job Pathway to help students and other job seekers explore long-term employment options for creating a successful future in Wishek.
Job Pathway is intended to encourage local businesses to offer students and job seekers an opportunity to explore career options and potentially secure scholarships or loan repayment for education and training costs. A job shadowing experience with a local employer is an excellent way to become acquainted with the skills, knowledge and future employment trends in various occupations. Completing a 40-hour job shadowing experience with a flexible schedule that pays an hourly wage does not obligate the student or potential job candidate to long-term employment but could certainly be the start of a successful employment future in Wishek. Regardless of whether you are planning or have already completed an associate degree or trade certificate program, reach out to Wishek employers to discuss possible scholarships and loan repayment availability. If you are currently employed outside of Wishek and will be moving to Wishek, be sure to ask your potential employer about relocation assistance.
