Slinger, WI – Slinger High School held a Career Connections Fair on Wednesday, April 27, 2022 in the lobby of the school’s Performing Arts Center.
The event was an opportunity for junior and senior students, who have a strong interest in manufacturing and construction trades, to meet with companies looking for young talent.
The event brought 39 companies from the surrounding area to meet with over 100 students from Slinger High School, West Bend High School and Kewaskum High School.

It took several months for teachers from the Slinger Technology and Engineering department to prepare and plan for this event.
The “speed dating” approach allowed for students to rotate every five minutes through each table greeted by individuals from different companies in manufacturing and construction trades.
At the end of 18 interview rotations, students were given time to go back to meet with companies they found interesting or didn’t get the chance to meet during the rotation.
As for next year, organizer Russ Hermann “hopes to get more students and schools involved.”
