Career-orientated programs begin as early as elementary school and there is a large eighth-grade career fair bringing together students from both counties. In high school, there are more options, including job shadowing, field trips to local businesses, and programs directly linking students and businesses. For example, the DKBEP has a homebuilding program in place where juniors and seniors in high school build a house themselves, learning what they need from local crasmen and staff from northeast Wisconsin technical College. When they are done, not only did they build a house, but they also earned 16 credits through nWtC. "We have found that tours of local businesses are the most eye- opening," LeClair says. "students have no idea what these companies are like and they see that they can study engineering or accounting and then come to work for a company like Bay shipbuilding. ere are a lot more careers available in the area than people think and we work to help them realize that."
