Community engagement manager Stephanie Bluemel and personal banker Matthew Cieslak attended a networking lunch for Muskego High School students at Alpine Lanes bowling alley last Thursday, January 27.

“The high school likes to do this event off of school grounds to give them a full networking experience,” Stephanie said. The event is put on by the Muskego Area Chamber of Commerce and the school’s Career Connections program, which lets students leave school early to go to work.

“It was a really great experience,” Matthew said. “The students were engaging and had many different career paths in mind. I shared they should be as well rounded and self-motivated as possible, and look for opportunity in places they might not always expect! It is very apparent that the Career Connections program is quite effective.”

About 10 other local businesspeople attended. This was Stephanie’s second year participating in the networking events, and Matthew’s first. “He did an amazing job supporting North Shore Bank and our mission,” Stephanie said. “You could sincerely feel his passion for his job.”

The Muskego bankers will attend three more such events over the next month. The networking events are held multiple times to give all interested students a chance to attend.
