Becoming an industry partner with our high school district in offering work-based learning opportunities is more than just an investment in the future—it's a chance to make a lasting impact on the community. By partnering with us, you’re helping to build the next generation of talent in your industry. This collaboration allows you to play a pivotal role in shaping the skills and mindset of young people who are eager to contribute. It’s a meaningful way to give back to the community that supports your business, ensuring that the workforce pipeline remains robust and that your industry thrives for years to come.

Moreover, this partnership offers unique benefits to your organization. Engaging with Gen Z students provides valuable insights into the emerging workforce, helping you understand their motivations, work styles, and innovative ideas. For your younger staff, it’s an opportunity to develop their leadership and mentoring skills as they guide and manage interns. These experiences can be incredibly rewarding, as they foster a culture of growth and fresh perspectives within your organization. By welcoming these students, you’re not just filling short-term needs but also infusing your team with new ideas and energy that can drive your business forward.

To find out more about becoming a partner, please contact Kathy Gannon by email or phone (847-718-7483). We will set up a site visit for a member of our team to learn more about your business and potential interest in becoming a partner. Following the site visit you will be asked to review and sign a partner agreement and complete a simple security background check.
