Yesterday two teachers with Norwalk Schools "Learn Local" program spoke to our group about opportunities for local businesses to get involved with helping students in their career paths! We learned about how this program strengthens the connection between education and local industry and encourages students to look at local career opportunities. Thank you to Jodie Irlmeier and Carrie Krupke for presenting this great program to our rotary! If you have a business who might be interested in getting involved, we encourage you reach out!
