The Career Connection was founded by the Fox Cities Alliance for Education, a partner with the Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. and Fox Valley Workforce Development Board, Inc.  We help young people learn about career opportunities. Other young adults, parents, teachers and guidance counselors can also tune in to what's happening at our facility.

Our target audience is young people ages 12 to 21, although other people are welcome to use the Career Connection.

Teachers, guidance counselors, youth group leaders, parents and other adults who help guide young people may use the Career Connection.

In addition, anyone exploring career choices and labor market information may find a visit to the Career Connection beneficial.
