The Depot Outlet has awarded a $5,000 grant to the Decorah High School Work Experience Program. 

The funding from the Depot Outlet helps students in the Work Experience Program to receive a paycheck for their time and efforts while working a couple hours a week in the community. 

Decorah High School Work Experience Coordinator Julie Dahlen says the program helps students to learn competitive and supported employment skills, which will help them become employable, successful young adults after graduation.
