The School District of New Berlin depends on the support of professionals, businesses, educational and civic organizations to provide learning experiences for our students to become college & career ready. There are many ways to get involved! Please contact anne.warchol@nbexcellence.org if you would like more information or have additional ideas.

• Job Shadow: Opportunity for a student to see how an organization works.
• CTSO: Act as an industry mentor to a Career and Technical Student Organization (STEM Forward FutureCity, BUILD Team, Robotics, SkillsUSA, DECA, etc.)
• Service Opportunities: Unpaid work experience and/or project-based service opportunities.
• Mentorship: Career and post-secondary guidance from someone already working in one of the student's areas of interest.
• Co-op: Paid and supervised work experience. This is often a student's first experience in the world of work.
• Internship: Paid or unpaid work experience within a student's area(s) of interest.
• Youth Apprenticeship: Wisconsin's nationally recognized paid internship program. Students are placed in a 1- or 2-year program and are assessed by the employer according to skills standards checklists in partnership with School District of New Berlin teaching staff.
• Special Projects: Limited-term projects that allow students to apply what they are learning in school in the world of work.

Professional Learning Opportunities for Educators

Educators are committed to life-long learning. We are continually looking for professional learning opportunities to increase the relevance between what is taught in the classroom and how students will use that knowledge in their future careers.

School District of New Berlin Career Days

During our annual Career Days, we invite professionals to come in and give 25-minute presentations to our students on their careers. Students have had very positive feedback on these days! Our Career Days are organized in partnership with Junior Achievement.
