Community
"Community involvement and partnerships are essential for offering a wide range of applied learning opportunities for students." DPI
"Applied learning opportunities" often take on a broader scope in rural areas where the variety of careers may be more limited. The community is still a source of learning by providing essential "soft" or universal job skills for our students.
At Bloomer, 95% of our students graduate having worked during high school.

Copy of 2017 Survey Results.pdfInvolving our Business Community
Creating and maintaining a relationship with community business partners is promoted by listening to the needs and concerns of employers in our area. Working collaboratively with area school districts, we survey area businesses and host a listening session where they can share how workers ages 16-25 are meeting the challenges of the workforce.
The results of the 2017 survey indicated employees in this age group are strong in technology and math, and weaker in dependability and customer service interaction. This information is used to guide student career preparation.
To the left, are results of the 2017 survey. Employer responses were from Northern Chippewa, Rusk, and Sawyer Counties.
