Career Connect & Inspire Wisconsin join forces
In our last newsletter, we told you about the Career Connect initiative and how it will support career readiness for Racine County's middle and high school students. Today, we're here to tell you that Career Connect is open for business and ready for you! We've joined forces with Inspire Wisconsin, a statewide initiative, and have begun signing up employers and career coaches.
Career Connect provides a single point of contact for students seeking work-based learning opportunities and the employers who provide those opportunities. It is a tactic to meet Challenge One of the Higher Expectations strategy for workforce development.
If you're interested in providing career exploration opportunities for Racine County's students - or if you're already doing it - please get in touch with John Siegert at John.Siegert@goracine.org.
