Education Programs

The Alliance has been offering programs for students to enter the doors of businesses for over a decade. Over 9,000 students have participated in the Alliance's Schools2Skills™ program since 2011, making it a state-wide best practice. The program is designed to expose students to manufacturing by offering behind-the-scenes tours of companies creating, producing, designing, and marketing products. This level of exposure allows students to see first-hand the opportunities available to them now and in the future.

The Alliance hosts hands-on Industry Expos for k-12 students to meet local employers and participate in hands-on demonstrations of career pathways.

The Alliance fosters connections from the business community to the education institutions by offering programming and discussions better to align the business community's needs with future talent.

• Careers Uncovered™ allows educators to visit a local company better to understand the career pathways available to the students.
• Superintendent/President Roundtable brings education and business leaders together to discuss ways to meet Waukesha County's workforce and talent development needs. It's also an excellent opportunity for businesses and schools to connect and build partnerships.
