●Course attendance is 8 times more predictive of success in freshman year than eighth grade test scores.

●Students who successfully complete Algebra II are twice as likely to complete a 4-year degree.

●Students who have a 2.8 GPA graduating high school have a 71% likelihood of reaching the American middle class.

●Students engaged in co-curricular activities are more likely to pursue higher education.

●Completing community service to fulfill class requirements enhances the average odds of college graduation by 22 percentage points.

●Those who took an AP or International Baccalaureate (IB) coursewere found to be 17 percent more likely to persist in four-year colleges and 30 percent more likely to persist in two-year colleges. There were similar findings for dual enrollment students.

• Workforce Needs/Training that matches the career

• Financial Aid Debt Crisis

• Engaging youth in learning

• Supplementing and supporting Academic & Career Planning

• Direct Enroll vs. 3 Year Transition

UNDERSTANDING THE NEED: COMMUNITY• Labor Force of about 9,265 people

• 1,181 (13.43% ) workers in production jobs but total of 1,452 (16.58% in manufacturing)

• 54 Langlade County employers considered Manufacturers

• Typical Job Openings: Machinist & General Labor

• Challenge: How to fill gaps left by retirements

PARTNERSHIPS PRODUCE RESULTS

SOLUTION FOCUSED

Exposing students to manufacturing careers is

important, but single activities don’t sustain the

message and fix the problem!
