NWTC, school districts win training award A partnership between Northeast Wisconsin Technical College and three area school districts received a statewide award to improve educational and career offerings in smaller communities. The Northwood Regional Learning Collaborative Partnership is a cooperative involving the school districts of Crivitz, Beecher-DunbarPembine and Wausaukee, and NWTC's Central Regional Learning Center in Crivitz to provide dual credit opportunities to students at the three high schools. By using flexible scheduling and cooperation among the institutions, high school juniors and seniors have access to technical college classes in welding, nursing, automotive and engineering. The collaboration made it possible to offer advanced coursework in individual high schools, which would not have occurred otherwise due to a lack of student numbers and funding issues. Classes are taught in Wausaukee with NWTC equipment and staff members. Students are certified and career ready upon high school graduation, moving into technical skill jobs in their local communities. 30 | / insight on manufacturing • March 2013 Oshkosh Corp.
