During the program students explored many different aspects of Nicolet, including several academic programs, student services, student life activities, and the library, bookstore and cafeteria. They also attended presentations by Nicolet faculty and administrators. The students learned about the soft skills that employers emphasize as important for good employees, such as communication skills, teamwork, and a positive attitude.
"All of the students did a fantastic job and were clearly engaged during all of our classes," said Kaye Mathwich, the Nicolet instructor who taught the classes. "It was very rewarding to see the students grow and develop as they learned more about what it takes to have a job or attend future classes."
The program started in 2011 and is operated through a broad partnership that also includes the Northland Pines and Rhinelander school districts, Headwaters, Inc., the Wisconsin Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, and the Human Services Center.
