A bill in the state Legislature would require UW-Madison to establish a program called â??career conversationsâ? that would introduce middle and high school students to high-tech jobs.
The bill doesnâ??t set aside any money for the project, but the universityâ??s Center on Education and Work has much of the infrastructure in place to conduct a pilot program, said Sen. Julie Lassa, D-Stevens Point.
â??For us itâ??s a way to potentially reverse the brain drain that the state experiences,â? she said.
