School-to-Career: Employers

WIRE-Net's School-to-Career program provides employers with a critical link to schools and the youth that they will need to fill their jobs in the coming years.  We actively work to ensure that students are made aware of the opportunities that manufacturing can provide and we work with parents & guidance counselors to overcome negative perceptions of a career in manufacturing. 

Through our work with the schools and the students, WIRE-Net has been able to place students into positions with local businesses working as general laborers, machinists, welders, diesel mechanics, and construction workers, to name a few!  These positions often start as 100-hour Apprenticeships that are PAID BY WIRE-Net and monitored by WIRE-Net and school staff.

Not sure if an Apprenticeship is right for your business? Consider hosting a Plant Tour or Job Shadowing experience, or volunteer to be an industry guest speaker so you can get to know the students!

For more information on how your business can get involved  with WIRE-Net's School to Career program,  please contact Rebecca Kusner at 216-588-1440 ext. 111.
