School-to-Career

Welcome to the Waunakee Community High School-to-Career page.

Students often look for the connection between the classroom and their future career.  The School-to-Career program is designed to help students make that connection and explore their potential in life.  The School-to-Career program uses three components to its curriculum.  The first is the School Component, which is a Career, Technical Education (CTE) class related to the student's interest.  The second is the Work Component, which is a paid on-the-job work experience.  The third is a connecting activity, which is designed to connect school classes with a student's on-the-job work experience.

Waunakee Community High School offers three different types of work based learning opportunities.  They are: Employablility Skills, State Certified Co-op, and Youth Apprenticeships.  Each of these programs can be very beneficial to students.  However, they take a considerable amount of prior planning before being admitted.  It is very important that studetns work with their School Counselor and School-to-Career Coordinator to successfully plan necessary coursework.

Employability Skills Certificates is an opportunity for students to showcase they have mastered the employability skills which are valued by employers.  This program at is usually offered to students during their Junior year.  For more information follow this link: Employability Skills Certificate Program

The State Certified Co-op Program is an opportunity for students to work with local business and industry partners to learn specific skills related to a particular career field.  Students typically enroll in this program Senior year.  For more information follow this link: State Certified Co-op Program

Wisconsin's Youth Apprenticeship program is designed for students who want hands on learning in a specific occupational area at a worksite along with related school instruction.  This is a one or two year program that combines paid on the job experience with two semesters of related instruction.  Students interested in a two year program start during Junior year.  Students interested in a one year program start during either Junior or Senior year.  For more information follow this site: Youth Apprenticeship Program
