Cheers to Careers

A Celebratory Way to Build Careers in Our Community

September 26, 2024 @ The Ivy House

We’re inviting YOU to join us for a night of cocktails created and mixed exclusively by our amateur celebrity bartenders. They’ve been cooking up delicious, one-of-a-kind libations to raise funds for WRTP | BIG STEP, and they’re ready to share them with you at this exclusive event. Building Careers Has Never Been More Fun!

You’ll get to taste signature drinks, mingle with our celebrity bartenders, and enjoy tasty snacks, all while making a difference for people right here in our community. Additional cocktails and food will be available for purchase. You’ll even get to VOTE for your favorite drink.

The BEST PARTWhile you sip, you HELP! All proceeds from Cheers to Careers go directly to building pathways to careers for people right here in our community. WRTP | BIG STEP is a workforce intermediary nonprofit organization dedicated to creating apprenticeship pathways for Wisconsin’s underemployed and underrepresented populations by expanding access to our education, training, supportive services, and equitable job placement for in-demand jobs within the manufacturing, construction, transportation, broadband, and green energy sectors. Thank you for partnering with us!
