Roger Goatcher, as an educator, sees the hundreds of part-time jobs Great Wolf Resort would create if they locate in Manteca as a boon for students.While some pooh-pooh the importance of part-time employment — Great Wolf estimates roughly 55 percent of the 500 year-round jobs from the overall annual payroll of nearly $20 million they’d create in Manteca would be part-time positions — the Manteca Unified deputy superintendent sees them as the first step on employment or career paths.“Entry level, part-time jobs are important,” Goatcher said.He notes for some they provide a way to go to college without going into debt. For others they can be the first step toward full-time and coveted head-of-household jobs in the growing leisure, hospitality, and food service industries. And for those whose goal is employment in other fields, it provides a way to hone soft skills — being prompt, working as a team, effective interacting with customers, and a host of other attributes that strengthens their employability.It is why District Superintendent Jason Messer is looking forward to the possibility of building relationships with Great Wolf to develop possible internships with Be.Tech students along with other culinary programs in Manteca Unified high schools.If such a relationship does develop, it would fit into the Manteca Unified strategy of preparing students for the changing workforce whether it is in its own backyard or the job-rich Bay Area.
