Career Skills for Success : Powered by Okanagan College

We’ve partnered with Okanagan College to bring the classroom to the playground!

Ambassadors can now access Okanagan College’s Career Skills for Success. This series includes eight flexible, self-paced modules designed to help you grow your skills, boost your confidence at work, and build your resume - all while living and working right here in Revelstoke.

Completing all eight modules grants you a Certificate of Completion you can use to prove your dedication to levelling up.

Eligibility: This additional training is considered a benefit of the Ambassador Program and therefore meets the same eligibility as other benefits: You must live in Revelstoke and work/volunteer for a Revelstoke based business/organization. Please complete the core modules before accessing the Career Skills for Success training.
