Clark County Economic Development Corporation Encourages Employers to Use Inspire Program
Friday, November 2nd, 2018 -- 11:09 AM
-The Clark County Economic Development Corporation encourages employers to develop local talent and connect with the future workforce by using the Inspire Program.As of 2017, all Wisconsin public school district middle school and high school students are participating in academic and career planning. Called Career Cruising, this software allows students to input information to help identify interests and potential careers that tie to those interests. The second part of this software, called Inspire, provides an opportunity for employers to connect with students on potential career-readiness programs making it easier for students to engage in those opportunities aligned to the careers and career pathway areas of interest. Inspire integrates employer profile information, career-based learning opportunities and access to volunteer online career coaches directly into the Career Cruising Academic and Career Planning System to more deeply engages business participation in and support of the ACP process.
It allows business and industry to connect with local students while they are in school in hopes of tying their likes and interests to careers in our region. Momentum West has secured the license and developed the web portal inspireconnections.org. CESA’s 10 and 11 are working with school districts in the region. At present, many partners including the Clark County Economic Development Corporation are working to establish a base of business profiles in the region and Clark County to help create enough mass to launch the Inspire portion of the Career Cruising software and make the students experience positive and meaningful. Please contact the CCEDC at 255-9100 or visit Momentum West’s website for more information.
