Celebrating the 2025 Work Ethic Diploma Recipients! We’re proud to share the success of our inaugural Work Ethic Diploma Reception, a milestone event celebrating the dedication of local students who have demonstrated the soft skills and strong work ethic needed to thrive in today’s workforce. Created in partnership between Garrett County Public Schools and the Garrett County Chamber of Commerce, this program was designed with input from educators, business leaders, and post-secondary institutions to promote key workforce readiness traits—like discipline, teamwork, attendance, community service, and more. Students who earned the diploma met rigorous criteria and even had the option to voluntarily participate in a drug-free screening—an effort supported by the Garrett County Health Department, helping to promote healthy, job-ready lifestyles.   A heartfelt thank you for the support of:   Garrett County Department of Business Development for sponsoring the event Garrett County Public Schools Garrett County Fair Board for allowing us to host the event at the Ag Heritage Hall   And to the amazing businesses who attended the reception to celebrate these workforce-ready students:   Ruth Enlow Library First United Bank & Trust Beitzel Corporation & Pillar Innovations Garrett College   Without these organizations and businesses this program and the reception would not be possible. Together, we are building a stronger, more prepared workforce for Garrett County!

Help Address Your Workforce Issues with the Updated Work Ethic Diploma Program! After 5 successful years we feel it is time to make some changes to the Work Ethic Diploma (WED) Program to keep the it relevant and take it to the next level. The concept of the program was originally put forward to the Garrett County Chamber of Commerce by employers who felt students were not learning the soft skills necessary to become productive members of the workforce.   With the input of area educators, business leaders, and post-secondary representatives, we developed standards to evaluate the work ethic of our students. These standards are not being changed. Based on feedback from employers participating in the program and discussions with our stakeholders we have decided to replace the hourly pay incentive with a more tangible sign-on bonus to be rewarded after a qualifying length of employment. Another exciting change we are implementing is a Worth Ethic Diploma Reception that will recognize and celebrate students receiving the honor and our business partners participating in the program. This will be a great opportunity for you to network and recruit prospects. More details on this event will follow.   Whether you are a current WED partner or looking to join the program, we ask that you please review and sign the new form and return it to holly@garrettchamber.com or 15 Visitors Center Drive, McHenry, MD 21541. You can also click here for the criteria and business commitment form updated with changes highlighted for your convenience. We appreciate your participation and look forward to working with you to grow and enhance the Work Ethic Diploma Program to better meet Garrett County’s workforce challenges.
