  • Annual Report Scaling Work-Based Learning Increases Impact for All Intermediary Services Pave a Pathway to Success
    2019–20 ANNUAL REPORT SCALING WORK-BASED LEARNING INCREASES IMPACT FOR ALL INTERMEDIARY SERVICES PAVE A PATHWAY TO SUCCESS years MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT 2019 was a year that GPSEd saw steady expansion of our work-based learning intermediary services throughout the Midwest and beyond. With new partnerships across more industries and additional services added across the work-based learning continuum, we were poised to support more students on their journey to proud and productive lives. With 2020’s global pandemic thrusting our communities into unchartered territories, we focused our efforts to support our partners by adapting our programs and learning, so that we could continue developing our students into the next generation workforce. I am so proud of the commitment we made to help prevent a widening of the skills gap that remains critical to our economic recovery. It put the joy back into 2020 having it be GPSEd’s 20th Anniversary and provided us with more motivation to make 2021 our biggest year yet! Despite the challenges that faced both schools and businesses, as well as the vulnerable population of students we serve in our WI-based Manufacturing Youth Apprenticeship Program, we stayed the course and proudly held a virtual graduation. This ceremonious occasion sent 99 more students into the next chapter of their lives with a high school diploma, as well as credentials and industry certifications that put them on a pathway to prosperity. Work also continued on the development of new partnerships that included a virtual academy in Oregon and a high school district in DuPage County, Illinois in which we are working to expand work-based learning experiences to its educational offerings.

  • 2016 Annual Report
    ANNUAL REPORT 2016 The mission of the Milwaukee Public Museum is to inspire curiosity, excite minds, and increase desire to preserve and protect our world’s natural and cultural diversity through exhibitions, educational programs, collections, and research. A MESSAGE FROM DENNIS KOIS, PRESIDENT & CEO OF THE MILWAUKEE PUBLIC MUSEUM The Milwaukee Public Museum is one of the leading natural history and science museums in the United States. The four million objects in our collection have the power to teach and inspire, and to connect us all—young and old—to the world around us. By preserving our collections, staging quality special exhibitions, and providing educational programs and outreach to Milwaukee and beyond, we’re making a difference to our community. And by nearly every measure, MPM had a highly successful 2016. Museum attendance counts were up 26% from the prior year, and theater and planetarium attendance also continued to strengthen, up 27% over 2015. Membership topped 18,000 households, with revenue up 12%. Thanks to a generous gift from Kohl’s, MPM was able to continue to grow Kohl’s Thank You Thursdays—bringing in 34,000 free visitors alone—while new pricing strategies on non-free days allowed MPM to increase its revenue per visitor despite more than doubling free visitation over the prior year. Additional free and discounted days including three months of free admission for Milwaukee Public School field trips and several Sendik’s Red Bag Weekends, underwritten by the Balistreri family-owned Sendik’s stores, added tens of thousands more free and discounted visitors. The Ultimate Dinosaurs exhibit was a success, bringing in more than 80,000 visitors and returning a net profit of more than $300,000 to MPM.

  • Employers Starting Wellness Programs
    / More employers starting wellness plans By John Schmid of the Journal Sentinel Posted: April 13, 2010 |(12) COMMENTS Amid the din of the nation's health policy debate, one trend seems clear: More employers are adopting corporate programs to assess healthiness, promote wellness and ultimately reduce the cost of medical insurance. "They do it because it's working," Michael Bolger, president of the Medical College of Wisconsin, said in an interview Monday. Bolger, who spearheaded a three-year effort to win Milwaukee's designation as a "Well City USA," said the increase has become self-evident as insurance costs have continued to rise around the country. Milwaukee won the designation last month because a growing number of employers such as Northwestern Mutual, Joy Global Inc. and PyraMax Bank have adopted wellness policies. The Wellness Council of America, a nonprofit organization, awarded the designation after the city was able to show that 30% of its working population is employed at organizations that offer wellness programs. Wellness policies differ from company to company. But nearly all include a health assessment that quizzes employees on lifestyle habits, exercise, nutrition, stress, smoking and alcohol. Without assessments, most Americans would not bother to think about their risk profile, said David Hunnicutt, president of the Wellness Council of America. "The vast majority of working people in this country have no idea what their health status is," Hunnicutt said in an interview. Hunnicutt arrived in Milwaukee Monday ahead of a speech he delivers to business leaders Tuesday morning at the Pfister Hotel. Other features include tracking of biometrics, such as blood pressure, weight, heart rate and cholesterol, he said, adding that employers are required to keep the results confidential.

  • Shrinking the Skills Gap: Why Manufacturing Day Matters
    10/10/2014 Shrinking The Skills Gap: Why Manufacturing Day Matters NEWS ARTICLES BLOGS IOT PRODUCTS MULTIMEDIA SECTORS RESOURCES FREE SUBSCRIPTIONS COMPANY PROFILE SEARCH LOG IN REGISTER Articles ADVERTISEMENT Shrinking The Skills Gap: Why Manufacturing Day Matters Fri, 10/03/2014 - 1:39pm by Kylene Zenk-Batsford, Senior Manager, Manufacturing Practice Group, Kronos Get today's manufacturing headlines and news - Sign up now! Today we celebrate Manufacturing (MFG) Day, during which hundreds of manufacturers throughout the U.S. and Canada are hosting open houses, plant tours and career workshops, in order to raise awareness about the excellent career opportunities in manufacturing. MFG Day began in 2012 in an effort to draw attention to a major problem threatening the industry, and the overall economy — the skilled labor shortage. There are almost half a million skilled positions unfilled in manufacturing, a situation that will only worsen as baby boomers exit the industry, while fewer numbers of young people elect to enter it. We must change the perception of manufacturing as a desirable career — that’s why MFG Day matters. MFG Day provides opportunities for students, parents, educators, and the media to see today’s technologically advanced manufacturing facilities. And to observe firsthand the advanced skills and knowledge base of the modern manufacturing workforce. It gives manufacturers the chance to dispel misconceptions of manufacturing as dark and dirty environments where low wages are commonplace, which is far from reality. In fact, the average annual salary for a U.S. manufacturing worker is $77,505, greater than the U.S. median of $51,371.
