Work Ready Bootcamp
Be part of the Connect Brookings Committee’s Work Ready Bootcamp and help prepare SDSU students for the professional world! This free program is designed to empower SDSU juniors, seniors, and graduate students by bridging the gap between college and career with essential skills for workplace success.
Launched by the Brookings Area Chamber in 2024, the Work Ready Bootcamp has already seen its first group of 12 students develop a foundation in workplace skills that go beyond academics and into lifelong success. Participants receive insights into professional communication, financial literacy, career planning, and more—all crucial tools as they transition into their careers.
Whether students are preparing for internships, gearing up for their first full-time job, or seeking to sharpen their professional edge, this bootcamp offers a transformative experience that extends well beyond the classroom.

The Spring 2025 Work Ready Bootcamp kicks off on Monday, March 3, running each Monday from 6 to 8 pm (with a break on March 10 for SDSU Spring Break). Plus, dinner is provided at each session!
