Campground Attendant Training – April 16 to 27th
Employers look for employees with skills and training and a customer service attitude! 

“When we are hiring we look for someone who has been trained in safety in the workplace, the operating of power equipment and is a team player. The less time we have to train the better. People are usually hired for pre-season start-up work and if they work out well there is opportunity for full-time employment.” – Employers Dick and Pat Dennison

The skills learned in this course will be transferable to many careers in the workforce such as landscaping, as well as many careers in the hospitality industry. These skills can also help you in everyday life like doing basic maintenance around the house.
