Labor Market Needs
iForward students come from all over the state, so it’s necessary to consider Wisconsin’s future labor market needs statewide. Wisconsin’s highest employment growth prospects in the next ten years will be in health care, engineering, information technology and electronics manufacturing, finance, freight and warehousing, energy distribution, chemical and biological product manufacturing, and medical device manufacturing. In the vast majority of these areas a post high school education will be necessary for our students to succeed. It’s imperative as a result that iForward students leave high school with clear educational and employment goals and a strategy to reach those goals. Our ACP program helps our students achieve those goals through a logical and sequential process as they progress through their high school career.
