Workforce Development Strategy Now Includes Work-Based Learning
Custom Equipment, LLC partnered with GPS Education Partners (GPSEd), allowing the company to build industry talent pools and future workforces using a unique youth apprenticeship model designed by GPSEd. This model has proven successful for hundreds of Wisconsin businesses since its launch in manufacturing almost 20 years ago. The apprenticeship model will match motivated student workers with promising technical careers and expose them to career pathways in the manufacturing industry.
Participating students will gain exposure and experience to career pathways in the program through rotations at the Custom Equipment’s West Bend facility working as General Laborers. This allows students to explore different work environments and business cultures as well as take on different roles and responsibilities, all while earning their high school diploma.
