Welcome Grundy Vocational Center to the Give Me TEN Network

We are excited to share that Grundy Area Vocational Center is officially adopting the Give Me TEN program.

Originally launched as a program to support the automotive industry and address the skilled labor shortage, Give Me TEN has grown into a scalable, business-first work-based learning model that now supports all career pathways — from health sciences to manufacturing, IT, early childhood, and beyond.

It starts with just ten structured hours — and that simple introduction can grow into a formal internship, apprenticeship, or even a long-term job opportunity.

Grundy joins a growing network of schools and employers who believe that strong industry partnerships and early exposure to careers are key to solving the skilled labor shortage.

Thank you to the team at Grundy for your commitment to career-connected learning. We’re thrilled to support your next steps with the full Give Me TEN Work-Based Learning Manual — packed with tools, contracts, and strategies for launching and sustaining the program.

Let’s keep building the future, ten hours at a time.
