GRAND CHUTE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Junior Achievement Wisconsin wants to help the state’s future business leaders.
They announced Wednesday that they are partnering with Fox Valley Technical College.
The organization plans to build a center on FVTC’s campus to focus on financial literacy and career exploration for grades 4 through 12.
They hope to prepare students for their financial and career decisions as well as allow them access to careers in the region.
Michael Frohna, president of Junior Achievement Wisconsin, tells FOX 11 the upcoming build will help take the stress away from students thinking about their career path.
“The state of Wisconsin has an academic and planning requirement. And the center will help the students get the right idea, whether or not they’re geared for manufacturing, welding, technology or the legal field or the health care or a combination.”
The organization received a $500,000 check Wednesday from Community First Credit Union to help with the upcoming build.
