Muskego Chamber Offers A Business Tour for Students

About 80 high school students will get a chance to view businesses from the inside, and perhaps gain some insight of their own on what to do after they leave high school.

Tina Weiss, Muskego Area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Executive Director, called the 'field trip in our city' a "great mentoring opportunity offered from our local businesses." 

One group of 40 seniors will tour 15 businesses in the Muskego Business Park, finishing with lunch at   InPro has been a long time denizen of the park, and recently announced plans to purchase the former Wiza building to bring marketing staff back from a location in New Berlin.

Another group of 40 kids kids will begin at Walmart and then to to take part in a seminar at the bank.  The seminar will feature input from 10 other business professionals, after which they will head to Holiday Inn Express for a final tour and lunch.

This is a program aimed at kids that may not have a clear idea of what they would like to do after high school, and are looking for more of a career direction and a career choice," Weiss explained.

The tour also helps to highlight the opportunities available close to home, and has provided its own insights to Weiss. "It's quite amazing to see what we have here in Muskego, especially in the business park," she said, adding that the partnership is all-inclusive. "More than half of these businesses offering their time are not part of the chamber, so it's been a great experience to get this organized."
