School-to-Work Information

 

School-to-Work

In Wisconsin, School-to-Work is a system of education-related opportunities that center on actively preparing all students to enter the global workforce of the future.  These opportunities provide students with strong academic, technical, and life skills deemed by both business and educational leaders to be necessary skills for the future.  The partnerships between business and education that have been developed throughout the state are the foundations of the School-to-Work system, and connect the classroom to the community and the world of work.

Students in Wisconsin's 426 school districts have access to School-to-Work opportunities.  the programs are coordinated locally by school-to-work, youth apprenticeship, tech prep, and vocational educational coordinators located in elementary, middle, high schools, technical colleges, the University of Wisconsin system, Cooperative Educational Service Agencies (CESA), chambers of commerce and other community organizations.

Youth Apprenticeship

Wisconsin’s Youth Apprenticeship program is a foundational part of a statewide School-to-Work initiative that has earned Wisconsin national recognition as a leader in education reform. It is designed for high school students who want to experience hands on learning at the worksite in conjunction with classroom instruction. This rigorous two year elective program combines academic and technical instruction with mentored on-the-job learning that makes a real world connection for the students.
