Fox Cities Chamber Launches ‘Innovate for Tomorrow: Education & Business Partnership Series’

Join the Fox Cities Chamber for the kickoff of Innovate for Tomorrow: Education & Business Partnership Series, a new initiative designed to strengthen connections between schools and businesses while shaping the future of our regional workforce.

The first session, held Monday, November 10 from 10 – 11:30 a.m. at RGL Logistics, will focus on Work-Based Learning, a proven strategy to keep talent local by engaging students directly with employers. 

Attendees will hear from GPS Ed, Appleton Area School District, AZCO, and Miron, and will: 

• Explore what’s possible when schools and businesses partner on internships, job shadowing, and real-world projects. 
• Hear success stories from students, educators, and employers who are already making it work. 
• Gain practical insight into how work-based learning benefits both young people and local industries. 

This session will highlight opportunities for collaboration, spark new ideas, and set the stage for ongoing conversations between educators and employers.

An optional tour of RGL's brand-new facility will be available after the presentation.  

This program is an initiative of the Fox Cities Chamber's Emerging Talent Alliance: Education Taskforce.
