-The Baldwin-Woodville School District, OEM and Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College created the Manufacturing Careers Pathway Partnership in 2010 to provide educational opportunities and exposure to advanced manufacturing as a great career to students in high school.The pathway program is made up of many elements including career exploration, job shadowing, youth employment, state of the art training facilities, dual enrollment, and tuition assistance.
The Baldwin-Woodville School District has been a true leader in this effort.
The district understands the importance of offering exposure to advanced manufacturing in high school so students can learn about all of the opportunities that exist in manufacturing as a possible career choice.
The Manufacturing Careers Pathway Partnership begins with career exploration for 8th and 9th grade students. Students are taught science, technology, engineering and math in context so they can experience how each of these subjects relate to manufacturing operations.
According to Mark Tyler, president of OEM Fabricators, ?I commend the Baldwin-Woodville School District for its leadership and commitment to fostering the exposure to manufacturing as a career option. The school districts efforts to offer students the opportunity to learn about all the potential career opportunities are being applauded and revered by school districts throughout the state of Wisconsin.?
