Career Connections Academy

Career Connections Academy

Career Connections Academy is one of Wisconsin’s largest opportunities for middle school students to learn about careers. The goal of this program is designed to teach students about the wide variety of jobs available within the greater Fond du Lac area, specifically in agriculture, healthcare, information technology, services, skilled trades, and manufacturing.

Eighth grade students from the schools in Fond du Lac, Green Lake, Lomira, North Fond du Lac, Oakfield, and Rosendale/Brandon, as well as St. Mary’s Springs Academy and Winnebago Lutheran Academy have the opportunity to participate in Career Connections Academy. 

Staying mindful of the times in 2022, we have partnered with various business and non-profit organizations to host virtual career presentations with our middle school students. We invite teachers to sign up their classrooms to inform students about employment and continuing education in Fond du Lac County. The presentation can be scheduled throughout the entire spring semester. 

Thank you to the community partners who stepped up to make Career Connections Academy possible this year!
