Lunch and Learn
–
BISCO is working to bridge expectations of high school students
and
business
leaders for the purpose
of educating today’s students about the realities of
various
careers in our community.
Using an assessment tool, students identify their
areas of
vocational interest.
After
doing so, they are invited to a “lunch and learn”
presentation
by business people and
professionals who come from careers that match
their interest
areas.
Adopt-A-School – This program began in 1996 to create partnerships between the
individual schools and businesses.
Businesses can help the schools with projects and
funding.
Schools also assist the businesses in anyway that they may need assistance.
Career Fair – BISCO sponsors and provides support for a Career Fair held for our
students at WHS on an every other year basis.
Over 40 businesses share information
about skills needed and job opportunities at their business.
BISCO Community Breakfast – This idea began as a way to get more businesses
involved in the mission of BISCO seven years ago and continues today.
The annual
breakfast is held in the late winter or early spring of each year and kicks off the BISCO
annual campaign.
Past speakers have included:
Governor Bill Janklow, Governor
Michael
Rounds, Senator John Thune, Senator Tom Daschle, Representative Stephanie
Herseth, and
Mr. Doug Grow. For more information click here.
Junior Achievement – BISCO continues to support and fund Junior Achievement in the
Watertown
School District.
Junior Achievement provides information to students, taught
by
community members, regarding business and economics in our community.
