This is a great opportunity for parents and/or groups of business people to spend some time with area middle school students with the goal of helping them become more aware of the responsibilities of earning an income and making financial decisions for basic living necessities. We’d love to have you, but more importantly, we’d love to have more of our community members participate. So if you have a group at work, in your neighborhood or even your book club that might be interested please pass the word around. https://www.kirkwood.edu/site/index.php?p=36110

Mission Statement

Description
WLC connects students and educators from Grant Wood AEA Area X school districts in Cedar, Benton, Iowa, Jones, Linn, Johnson and Washington counties in east central Iowa looking for career information with area business professionals who are interested in preparing our region's future employees.
Students become more prepared for the local job market, and businesses have the opportunity to mold potential employees, creating a hands-on way for students to explore careers while still in high school.
But, that’s not all. Local job experience is key to keeping our best and brightest here, in Iowa. And the on-the-job learning students receive simply cannot be recreated in a classroom.
WLC was founded in 1998 as a not-for-profit partnership of Kirkwood Community College and Grant Wood Area Education Agency serving K-12 students in seven counties. In July 2011, WLC became a department of Kirkwood Community College. Gifts to support WLC are accepted by the Kirkwood Foundation . WLC coordinates career speakers, career fairs, worksite tours, job shadows, internships, and teacher professional development to help districts meet Iowa Department of Education mandates for Career Development and help area students become better informed in their post-secondary education and career decisions.
WLC partners with Kirkwood Community College’s College Credit In High School program to provide quality learning opportunities through Career Academies.
