Will there be jobs for iForward graduates?
Yes..... but you will need further education after high school! 61 percent of Wisconsin’s jobs will require post-secondary education by 2018. Between now and 2018, Wisconsin will need to fill 925,000 vacancies resulting from job creation, worker retirements and other factors. Of these job vacancies, 558,000 will require post-secondary credentials.
Tracking the trend... The Percentage of the state’s working age population (25-64) with at least an associate degree:
2008 – 38.0%
2009 – 38.2%
2010 – 39.1%
Meeting the educational needs of our 21st century students will help build Wisconsin’s economy and
ensure a bright future for them and for our state.
