"The boy in the red shirt that asked me several questions was very much into it. He had some good questions. He was also the first one to come shake my hand and say thank you! If he wants a job in a few years, please let the teachers know to send him our way!” Steve Janke, President of Brelie Gear
Good afternoon, I just had my afternoon, I just had my meeting with Liam M. He answered all the interview questions with great responses. Shook my hand firmly upon arriving, had great posture, and took time at the end of our interview to ask me a few questions. I was impressed with his performance given the mock situation. Matt Stachowiak- Project Manager -Bulski Building & Remodeling.
We have been hosting 2 clinical groups for CNA students from Muskego High School this week, and they will finish up their required clinical hours in our facility next week. I have had the opportunity to interact with and observe both classes and just wanted to personally reach out to tell you how impressed I have been with these groups of young ladies. More than the technical skills they are exhibiting, it’s their kind, upbeat, and caring attitudes that have really stood out. You can be very proud that they are representing Muskego High School well. Jon Stankevitz - Co-Owner/Administrator - Golden Years
I wish something like this existed when I was in high school. When taken advantage of, the opportunities presented by CONNECT Academy provide kids with a direction in choice of classes, choice of 4-year vs. tech school vs. apprenticeship, and choice of major/minor declarations, etc. Kudos to Jim Michlig, his work through CONNECT Academy, and the Muskego-Norway School District for their support of this program. They make learning fun and easy, which is almost a guarantee for success, and something we at the police department are proud to be a part of! Jeff Sartorius - Community Resource Officer, Muskego Police Department
The Muskego Chamber of Commerce is proud to partner with CONNECT Academy as we strive to support workforce development. Over the past five years, our business members have been amazed and excited at the opportunities to connect with students. These young people form the backbone of our future business community. The mentoring possibilities encourage business owners/managers to hire and support the community locally. We look forward to a continued relationship and positive career development within Muskego. Krisann Durnford - Executive Director, Muskego Area Chamber of Commerce
