Employer Partnership
Build Your Future Workforce: Partner with CESA 1
Across Southeast Wisconsin, the demand for skilled, locally-rooted talent has never been higher. Yet, for too long, employers and K-12 districts have operated in separate worlds.The CESA 1 Employer Partnership Program serves as the bridge. We provide the structure and support needed to bring these two systems together, ensuring that our students are prepared and our local economy is thriving.

- Increase Brand Visibility: Build your reputation as an employer of choice among students, parents, and the local community.
- Shape the Future Workforce: Provide the "spark" that leads a student to a career in your specific industry.
A partnership will run July 1 - June 30 with the option to renew each year. A pro-rated fee will be available if a partner joins after December 31. Please review our Partnership Policy for more information about the terms and conditions.
