Much like GPSEd, Jeremy Joecks has professional experience and background that exists at the nexus between education and business. He is passionate about breaking down the barriers that often exist between school and work (and between childhood and adulthood) and enjoys the challenge of providing students, schools, and businesses opportunities to connect and partner through the power of real world work based learning experiences. At GPSEd, Jeremy leads the work and teams that drive the organization's transformational Wisconsin based cornerstone program consisting of a network of education centers serving hundreds of students and over 150 business, school, community and funding partners across the state. Jeremy has over 15 years of experience as a leader and educator across educational, non-profit, and for profit business entities. He holds a master's degree in education from the University of Wisconsin - Whitewater and a Bachelor's degree in business management from the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire.
