Youth Co-ops

By the end of this year, 48 students will have participated in over 60 co-op positions with local companies. As the program gains traction within schools, one participant points out what many of us already know,

“the experiences that I was exposed to have been priceless and were a great learning opportunity. I thoroughly enjoyed this program and I believe that schools undervalue programs like these [and how important they] are to students and the students’ futures.” Joel Kos, Cedar Grove-Belgium, Co-op participant at Van Horn and Kohler  

2018-19 planning is underway and we are piloting a "5th Quarter Placement- Summer Co-ops!". The addition of these positions will increase the number of opportunities for students by approximately 30 placements.

Applications for summer and 1st quarter will be accepted until April 25th. The required parent/guardian information night will take place at American Orthodontics on April 23rd from 6:30-8:00pm. Many employers will be on hand to talk with students and their families about the positions they offer.

INSPIRE Sheboygan County is leading the New North region through the planning to develop a regional INSPIRE for the 18 counties. Our work will include strategic planning with a regional team of 15 members. The goal of this planning is to determine what a regional structure of INSPIRE will look like and how to onboard new deployments to ensure success.

The work will begin at the end of the month and will conclude over the summer. Stay tuned to learn more about the results.
