At Bobcat Company, people have always been the priority, and its young professionals are no exception.

Creating opportunities for its employees to develop and thrive inside and outside of work, is what sets Bobcat apart as a Best Place to Work.

As a leading, global manufacturer, it might not be a surprise that there are many great career opportunities at Bobcat. But for Young Professionals, it’s about more than just getting the job ... it’s about learning, growing, connecting and developing along the way.

Empowering employees to be involved in the community throughout their careers is a major emphasis at Bobcat. Not only do employees get dedicated time off to volunteer for their favorite local organizations, there are company-wide volunteer weeks throughout the year where employees intentionally team up together to lead and execute projects for non-profits around the community. Projects can range from food drive collections, lawn care, refurbishing facilities and much more.

Bobcat also couples professional development with community involvement through programs such as United Way’s 35 Under 35 or their LEAD program, The Chamber’s Young Professionals Network, mentorship of STEM students, local board and committee service opportunities and more.

It’s clear that Bobcat also has a commitment to the Young Professionals of the future, well before they are Bobcat employees. Just two examples of this commitment to the future would be the $5 million donation to the NDSU Foundation to support its engineering program, or the awarding of grants to elementary and middle school STEM students. Efforts like these are crucial for not only Bobcat’s future workforce, but our entire community’s.

Within the walls of Bobcat, professional development initiatives like the Legacy Builder program and the WeGrow Employee Resource Group are key to providing young professionals with the tools and support they need to succeed and advance in their careers.

The company also has a comprehensive benefits package, including health and wellness programs, tuition reimbursement, and flexible work policies, which further enhances the employee experience, inside and outside of work. Bobcat Company has created a workplace where young professionals can flourish, establish themselves as individuals and truly grow their careers.

Congratulations, Bobcat Company, for being named the 2024 Young Professionals Best Place to Work!
