Articulation Barriers in Wisconsin

• Examine ability of business community and education system to partner

• What works? What doesn’t?

• Role of the legislature – to remove defined barriers in statute

Identifying Barriers


• Government – legislature, state Department of Instruction, school boards

• Disproportionately bigger than Industry and Education

• Result – moves at a slower pace and slow to adapt

3 Cogs of Economic Model


• New technology and business approaches allow industry to adapt

• Education tries to keep pace, but faces additional government obstacles

• Fix: Equalize all 3 cogs for improved efficiency and results

A Model Geared for Success


• New and returning members of the workforce must look at a new model

• i.e. Manufacturing – 5-7 year career adjustment vs. 30-year career

• Combine education & experience to match future need

Mindset of the Workforce


• “Proactive, Not Reactive”• Identify ways to both engage & motivate the

workforce• Current example: Wisconsin Wins legislation

Mindset of Government

Diversity Scholars

Our Mission Diversity Scholars is a national, not-for-profit organization that helps underserved high school students succeed with college planning.

Our mission is to prepare first-generation, low income, and minority high school students for college and match those students with the two- and four-year institutions that offer the best opportunities for college graduation and career success.

High Schools and College Readiness Programs

www.collegeboundeprofiles.com

High schools and college readiness programs usethis Diversity Scholars on-line tool:

• To connect high school students and staff to two- and four-year colleges/universities across the country (excluding only for-profit and proprietary institutions).

• To enable direct communications between college admissions and recruitment offices and high school students.

• To establish peer communities so students work with one another, share information, and are recognized for their progress.

• To enable professionals to share information and practices through the Diversity Scholars Social Network.

The Online Profile The Diversity Scholars online profile is the heart of the system. Students build profiles and include information on their background, interests, extra-curricular activities, and more.

Students can easily update their profiles, and post-secondary schools can easily search for students.

Working with Talent DividendThe Talent Dividend Network helps Diversity Scholars:

--reach out to all the underserved high school students in Milwaukee

--provide a community forum for charting progress in reaching college readiness goals

--make the efforts of our students and the development of their scholarly identities visible to our community
