Center on Education and Work (CEW)
Description
The Center on Education and Work (CEW) generates new knowledge about and effective practices for strengthening learning and career development in education, workplace, family and community settings. Center researchers and graduate students are available to assist educators with advice on research-based instructional, counseling, assessment and leadership practices. CEW offers conferences, workshops and leadership development programs for educators, parents and community partners and leaders -- all designed to change educational practices and improve students' career and educational outcomes. A variety of resources and publications are available via the CEW portal.
Outcomes
For more than two decades the center has produced and supported the Wisconsin Careers career information system, and hosts a national conference for career development professionals from across the U.S. One example of the program's outreach is its Wisconsin Career Information Septum, which is used in most K-12 schools in the state.
