School-to-Career: Students

• Employability & life skills are the important skills that can make or break success in a job search and on the job.  Monthly sessions will help you learn about problem solving, decision making, teamwork, and workplace communication.
• Field trips and plant tours are arranged with Cleveland-area businesses and schools that offer post-secondary training.  Join us to learn that manufacturing is NO LONGER dirty, dark or dangerous and see some of the exciting products that are made right here in Northeast Ohio.
• Job shadowing takes a plant tour to the next level.  Students work side-by-side with manufacturing employees to really see what the job involves and to learn about the position.  These paid experiences are the first step towards applying what the student has been learning and working in a real manufacturing position.
• Apprenticeships allow students to spend 100 paid hours at Cleveland-area businesses working in their trade.  Students are connected with a select employer that has agreed to teach them about the trade in a hands-on work environment.  The student, teacher, WIRE-Net, and employer all agree upon the goals for the experience and regular meetings to help make sure that the goals are met.
