Platteville High School Students go on an "Amazing Race to Employment!"
On November 28, 2018, twenty-five Platteville High School students along with six adult chaperones went on an employment activity. It is called Amazing Race to Employment where students visit businesses, ask questions, gain knowledge and skills needed for employment, and receive a tour. Twenty-eight businesses took part in this wonderful activity. Healthcare, veterinary services, construction, hospitality, manufacturing, automotive, .and retail were some of the career clusters covered through the variety of businesses visited. This was a student led activity with chaperones there for guidance. Each visit was allotted 30 minutes and
then students were transported to the next business. Pizza and pasta were served for the students at Platteville's very own "Steve's Pizza Palace." After the last employer visit, students reconvened at Platteville High School for a sharing session followed by signing thank you letters for the businesses. This was a tremendous employability exposure opportunity for students and businesses alike. Platteville High School looks forward to this being a yearly activity.
