Chamber plans 'Wellington Works' job board and volunteer portal to centralize local opportunities
Summary
The Chamber announced a free, public job board at wellingtonworks.org to aggregate paid jobs and volunteer opportunities for Wellington employers and nonprofits, with basic vetting tied to Colorado posting requirements and partner training and outreach planned.
The Wellington Chamber presented a new community job board and volunteer portal, branded Wellington Works, intended to aggregate local employment openings, high-paying remote opportunities and volunteer roles for nonprofits and schools.
How it will work: Carol (Chamber) said the board will accept job postings at no cost from Wellington employers and regional partners. Posts must meet Colorado job-posting requirements; incomplete or suspicious submissions will be returned. The Chamber also plans a volunteer-opportunity feed and will coordinate with partners to share regional workforce-development offerings.
Scope and features: The job board will be reachable at the dedicated URL wellingtonworks.org and will include expiring postings (organizers discussed a 30‑day default) and volunteer listings. Chamber staff will vet postings for basic legitimacy — company name, contact details and compliance with state posting rules — and may work with the Better Business Bureau for early oversight.
Partnerships and training: Organizers said they have talked with HR at OtterBox, employment agencies in Fort Collins and regional workforce-development entities about promoting remote and high‑paying roles. The Chamber also plans workshops with partners such as the Small Business Development Center (SBDC), the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) on certifications and business support.
Next steps: Chamber staff will activate the site, coordinate with the high school job fair and promote the board to members and the broader Wellington community, and will evaluate vetting and expiration settings in the board’s early weeks.
