Careers Uncovered | R&R Involved in Aligning Education to High-Growth Industry Pathways

Posted by Rick Kalscheuer

BridgingTheGap_Header-817x213Through R&R's partnership with the Waukesha County Business Alliance, we are proud to support 'Careers Uncovered,' a program aimed at aligning education to high-growth industry pathways. R&R is actively engaged in assisting employees in attracting and retaining top talent.

This new program allows Waukesha County educators the opportunity to visit a local company in one of the largest growing career pathways: healthcare, information technology, construction and manufacturing.

Experiences through the program's events will include:

  • General information about the company and career pathways available in the industry
  • Tours of the company that include networking opportunities with employees from all areas of business operations
  • Round-table discussions with industry leaders.
  • Educators working together to reflect and put together an action plan to apply the knowledge they gained to assist with the academic and career planning process.

'Careers Uncovered' supports educators in a handful of ways:

  • Gain first hand knowledge of what careers in high growth industries look like in 2018 and see how classroom content and skills are visible in industry settings
  • Enhance classroom curriculum with real-world career connections and examples
  • Identify career pathways within the industries to assist students in career and college readiness planning, helping students make educated choices for their futures
  • Connect with industry leaders to foster mutually beneficial partnerships
