November 2025 Recap

In November, the Chamber's Schools2Skills career exploration program focused on Emergency Services. Middle school students from Chippewa Falls Area Unified School District visited the Chippewa Valley Technical College Emergency Services Education Center and learned about the programs offered that kick-start careers right here in the Chippewa Valley. From there, the group stopped at Chippewa Falls Fire and Emergency Services for a tour of Fire Station 1 from Chief Thom, learning about careers and training needed. Then, the day wrapped up at Chippewa Falls Police Department for a tour where students learned about the services provided by the police department, evidence collection and procedures, and were introduced to K-9 Leo. Thank you to our Chamber members and community partners that helped make this opportunity possible for students and helping fill our workforce pipeline.
