🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day from all of us at WCEDA.

Today we celebrate the freedoms we cherish, the communities we call home, and the people who make Walworth County such a special place.

At the same time, our hearts are with the families affected by the unimaginable loss on Geneva Lake yesterday, as well as the first responders, law enforcement officers, and everyone who worked tirelessly during the rescue efforts. As our community gathers this holiday weekend, we keep them in our thoughts.

Wishing everyone a safe, meaningful, and peaceful Independence Day. Please look out for one another and enjoy the holiday responsibly. ❤️🤍💙

We wrapped up our Kareers4Kids school-year tours before summer break with an awesome visit to Alliant Energy! ⚡🙌

Through WCEDA’s Kareers4Kids program, students got to learn from KG and the linemen about careers in the energy field, the skills it takes to do the job, and the important work they do every day.

The students had a blast watching demonstrations of the equipment and seeing firsthand what linemen do out in the field. It was educational, impressive, and a fun way to end the season!

Huge thanks to KG and the Alliant Energy team for such an informative and engaging experience for our students. 👏

Last week, we brought over 20 students from Williams Bay School District High Schoolers on a day of hands-on career exploration in advanced manufacturing.

Students toured Allan ICS East Troy and Palmer Hamilton in Elkhorn, where they saw how products are designed, built, and brought to life. At each stop, they learned about the wide range of careers available in manufacturing—from engineering and production to operations and logistics.

The day wrapped up at Gateway Technical College, where students had lunch and toured the RPM Manufacturing facility, connecting what they saw in the field to the education and training pathways available during and after high school.

A sincere thank you to Allan ICS, Palmer Hamilton, and Gateway Technical College for opening your doors and helping students explore the future of manufacturing.
