Virtual Job Spotlights

Career Speakers delivered directly to your device

With the uncertainty of face-to-face contact due to COVID-19 this year, CESA 8 has developed Virtual Job Spotlights, in conjunction with NWTC, CESA 7, Ahnapee YA Consortium, UWGB and the NEW Manufacturing Alliance. Virtual Job Spotlights provide students in Northeast Wisconsin with virtual connections to employers each week through Zoom. These job shadowing opportunities will allow students, staff, and parents to hear from a variety of industry professionals and post-secondary educators discussing their education and career pathways.
