Program creates career-based learning experiences

Beth Nash has joined the Waupaca Area Chamber of Commerce as the director of Inspire Waupaca County.

Nash will coordinate with Waupaca County schools and businesses to create career-based learning experiences and job opportunities for students in the county.

Nash came to Waupaca from Fort Myers, Florida, where she was the director of business development at Amavida Living.

Prior to that, she was the resort services manager at Shell Point Retirement Community.

With more than 15 years of marketing and networking experience, she plans to build the Inspire program from the ground level in Waupaca County.

“We are very fortunate to be able to offer the Inspire WI program to our employers and students in Waupaca County,” said Terri Schulz, president and CEO of Waupaca Area Chamber of Commerce and Waupaca Area Chamber Foundation. “For students to be able to make connections with our employers, research careers, and talk with people in those careers, this can make such a difference in their career choices. We believe Beth is the perfect person to bring this program to life in Waupaca County.”

The Waupaca County Inspire program is an initiative of the chambers of commerce in Waupaca, New London and Clintonville, and the Waupaca County Economic Development Corporation.

Working in collaboration and with support of a grant from Tim and Joy Neuville, the program is able to move forward.

“Inspire represents an approach to teen workforce training that centers relationship-building between employers and students as the key to an effective talent pipeline within our county. After talking to both the chamber and school administration, we both felt this could be a gamechanger in keeping our students in our area as they graduate,” said Tim Neuville, with Neuville Motors Waupaca.
