Inspire Wisconsin Employer Survey
|
|
The Inspire Wisconsin employer survey is going out to employers across Wisconsin from every industry. It is part of a joint effort among several groups working on K-12 career-readiness initiatives and programs in the state. We want to have a deeper understanding of how and why employers engage with K-12, especially grades 6-12. We also want to understand how we can help employers connect with schools better. In specific, this survey is focused on Inspire Wisconsin. We will share the results in several formats including a statewide forum in December. Your responses are very important and will help improve how we connect companies with their future talent pipeline.
