At the end of October, the Ho-Chunk Nation hosted the
Western Technical College (WTC) graduating class of Black River Falls at the
Ho-Chunk Nation tribal office building to educate and present real-world
expectations of the workforce.
In the presentation, IT Supervisor Bobby Bird provided a warm
welcome to the students, discussed the reality of the workforce, and what will
transpire for them once they are a part of the workforce. Throughout the
presentation, Bird introduced various employees of the Ho-Chunk Nation.
Employees shared their experiences that they had gone
through with the students and explained how businesses comply with regulations,
standard procedures and operations. The employees described expectations that
come with specific job descriptions and that all jobs allow for training and
the comfortability that comes with educating new members of the workforce.
Over the past few years, WTC students of Black River Falls
have visited the Ho-Chunk Nation tribal office building site because of how
well the Ho-Chunk Nation is informed about statistics and performance in the
workforce.
The WTC collaborates with the Ho-Chunk Nation to assist the students
who do not have an understanding of expectations or job descriptions. Together
they prepare students for the workforce and construct a brighter future for our
up and coming generations.
The Ho-Chunk Nation is always looking to introduce smart and
efficient ways to enable a wide variety of working-class employees.
