A shining example of Wonderful Career Center and another successful collaboration with tenants of Wonderful Logistics Center!
Big Thanks to Ross Stores, Inc. and Target for Supporting Our Future Workforce! Today was one of those moments that reminded me why this work matters. Ross and Target, two incredible partners in our Wonderful Logistics Center, took the time to visit the Wonderful Career Center and meet with our soon-to-be graduating Maintenance Technician Apprentices. They didn’t just stop by, they shared what life looks like in their operations, answered thoughtful questions, and gave these apprentices a clear, honest picture of what’s ahead. These are the kinds of conversations that build confidence and open doors to real opportunities. This is collaboration at its finest. Bakersfield College, City of Shafter, The City of Bakersfield, Kern County, and The Wonderful Company are all working together to create a pipeline of skilled talent homegrown right in our community, ensuring our local workforce is ready to thrive right here in the Central Valley. To Ross and Target: Thank you for investing in this program and in these future maintenance technicians who are on the verge of stepping into the workforce. Your time, insights, and encouragement are not just shaping careers, they're strengthening our community in meaningful ways that will resonate for years to come. #WorkforceDevelopment #CareerTraining #CentralValley #CommunitySupport #FutureReady
