Connecting careers
in the Fox Cities
e Fox Cities Chamber of
Commerce and the Competitive
Workforce alliance are helping to
forge new partnerships between local
employers, economic development
groups, school districts and
community organizations to increase
the ability to anticipate, adapt and
respond to Fox Valley workforce
needs, both current and future.
to that end, the chamber has
recently launched a tool that ramps
up its youth apprenticeship efforts:
e "Connect a Career" website, a
resource that serves as a platform for
businesses, educators and students to
post and view work-based learning
opportunities for teens.
"We're very excited about this
resource as part of our larger workforce
development initiatives in the Fox
Cities. our young people represent a
pipeline for employers to thrive in the
future," says Larry Burkhardt, executive
vice president, Fox Cities regional
Partnership. e partnership serves
outagamie County and the northern
part of Winnebago County, but the
Connect a Career site will allow
education and business partnership
opportunities to expand to other
Wisconsin communities.
Burkhardt says the site enables
students to navigate possible career
paths and work-based learning
opportunities. it also helps them
develop workplace competencies.
e site is being tested this semester
at appleton area high schools, where
students can explore opportunities for
their futures.
"is ongoing feeder system
is a key function to helping our
workforce development succeed,"
Burkhardt says.
