We connect Classroom Education to Career Preparation
We work collaboratively with Dane County School Districts and statewide work-based learning programs to offer educational opportunities related to career exploration.
We help to provide youth a pathway for tomorrow’s careers through hands-on learning opportunities that develop cutting edge technical skills
DCSC programming includes:
The Youth Apprenticeship program is a Wisconsin flagship opportunity managed by the Dane County Schools Consortium for schools within Dane County.
W.I.O.A. ISY is a grant program designed to help youth prepare to transition to the workforce and college. We operate the STEPS program as a way to support more students to become Youth Apprentices
Additionally, DCSC partners with post-secondary schools, businesses, and community groups to bring innovative programs to the academic and career success of Dane County students. This School to Career work is vital to helping more students find their career path before leaving High School
Dane County School Consortium Districts
Dane County’s sixteen member school districts provide great learning opportunities for students and families from Belleville to Wisconsin Heights.
