Announcing the School-To-Work Website

www.ghsschooltowork.org

The School-to-Work website has been developed to continue to promote the relationship between business and education.  Germantown manufacturers are able to post opportunities they have available for high school students.  It may be a job, summer or otherwise, a co-op position or more.  The technology department at Germantown High School will utilize this information to help place students they have involved in their programs.  Some students need to have a job to fulfill the requirements for certain courses.

For safety concerns, the website is accessible only to the manufacturers for entering information at this time.  Student profiles will not be listed.   The technology teachers will be able to use the positions you post to make the best matches based on their experiences with students. 

 

MCE Manufacturing Career Expo

Mission Statement: Germantown, Menomonee Falls and Sussex Chambers of Commerce bringing together Manufacturers and Students to raise awareness of the opportunities in the local manufacturing industry and the corresponding educational pathways.

Thursday, October 14, 2010

Located at Davians Banquet & Conference Center, Menomonee Falls

Approximately 400 high school students from three communities attended last year's career expo and saw first hand some of the technology and were able to talk to representatives from 18 different local manufacturers about what career opportunities are available to them.  Participating manufacturers included: Harley-Davidson PowerTrain Operations, Wacker Neuson, Magnetek, Plastic Components, Trac-a-Matic, GenMet, Bradley Corp, and more.  The post secondary schools were also on hand to be available to students to discuss the types of classes needed and offered to attain the careers they were seeing in action.

Help Us Feed Your Future Workforce!  We are soliciting manufacturers as vendors for this career expo as well as sponsors for different facets of this event.   We are looking for manufacturers willing to take the time to talk to students, not about a job, but about a career.   Contact Lynn Grgich at the Chamber Office for more details.
