In Wisconsin, there are lots of opportunities for businesses to connect with schools as well as their communities to foster thriving local economies. It can be difficult, though, to get involved when you are strained for time or resources. Starting a youth apprenticeship program within your business in Wisconsin has long lasting benefits and can be worthwhile with some heavy lifting early on. GPSEd provides Wisconsin work-based learning (WBL) programs and resources, and can demonstrate how we have twenty years of experience helping businesses and their surrounding areas throughout the state of Wisconsin.
Wisconsin Youth Apprenticeship Programs
Work-based learning programs are beneficial for businesses in that they can grow your workforce and help you with onboarding challenges. Students in Wisconsin have a growing interest in the manufacturing industry, and in technical or trade positions for careers after graduating high school. Especially with virtual learning becoming more of the norm, it can be even more difficult for businesses to recruit a next-gen workforce. We will help you build your own WBL program, and teach you how to help students in your local community. GPSEd has helped many around the state of Wisconsin and can help you in your area.
Education Centers around Wisconsin
The GPSEd Education Centers are an essential and convenient part of the youth apprenticeship programs created with GPSEd. Located across the state, the Education Centers are a place for students to learn in the classroom with the flexibility in their schedules to continue their learning at a business.
