Students attend school half days a Junior and Senior at high school and then attend work the other half of the day. . Students are asked to complete industry developed skills. These are state-approved programs and two years in length. Students work in a local business to gain experience in a field related to their career interest or major. Volunteer work experience can not replace a paid position.
Students speak with and seek guidance from professionals within the career they are exploring.
The gym was filled with students and adults looking for direction in making career choices. Jerry Taff from WISN TV was on hand to talk with students. Attendees also stopped at the Career Lab, spoke with WI State University, Technical Colleges, U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, and the Army National Guard. The Slinger Middle School has been the most gracious of hosts for our career fair. We thank the many teachers, school personnel, and students who volunteered their time to make this event a success.
