Careers begin here. Join an Advisory Board!

revisit3Become a performance improvement partner! Join the Bradley Tech and/or a MATC advisory board and help serve our students and their search for exciting and rewarding careers.

The mission of the Bradley Tech advisory board is to provide expertise, resources, and strong partnerships to ensure that students are exposed to a wide range of career exploration opportunities, access the highest level of job training experiences, and finish with higher education and workplace readiness skills. Our partners and advisory board members work directly with Bradley Tech and MATC staff and students, strengthening our direction and focusing on the alignment to post-secondary education programs and career pathways.

Getting involved is easy. First, email Scott Sommer, Industry Liaison at sommers1@milwaukee.k12.wi.us or call at 414-212-2491.

Our advisory board usually meets as an entire group, once per semester, and is invited to attend other school events, such as our Open House each fall and spring. Advisory board members usually collaborate with staff members specific to the the four Bradley Tech/MATC career pathways listed below.

* Field trips: Open your office or shop to a tour and demonstrate the skills and equipment used in the workplace.

* Apprenticeships/Internships: Work with an inspiring student and prepare them for a semester-or year-long apprenticeship or internship during their senior year.

* Curriculum alignment: Reviews and makes recommendations for the learning curriculum for our shop classes. Meet with instructors during the advisory board meetings or during professional development opportunities.

* Train an instructor: Invite an instructor into your shop and introduce them to a workplace skill that they can bring back into the classroom. Can meet on days when school is not in session.

* Sponsor an event: Provide resources or funding in order for Bradley Tech to participate in a learning opportunity, such as attending a trade show or helping us host a community event such as “Cyber Security” day.

* Donations: Materials, equipment, and consumables that can be used in our shop classes.

* Meetings: Meet with the advisory board members once every two months or so, at 3:30 pm. Network with staff and business partners, and discuss what’s working and what needs to be improved.
