In metro Milwaukee, as a part of the WIRED Initiative,
the Regional Workforce Alliance (RWA)--a collaboration of
organizations representing workforce development,
economic development and education across southeast
Wisconsin--has established the framework for pursuing the
local talent dividend goal and a regional strategy for
increasing educational attainment. The RWA, through its
WIRED Initiative grant, engaged the Public Policy Forum
to explore and identify a set of metrics that impact
educational attainment and that might be used as the
basis for developing specific strategies for improvement.
This research effort recognizes that the Talent Dividend
Initiative goal, though narrowly defined as increasing
bachelor's degree attainment, necessarily will entail
making progress on several other measurable outcomes,
such as reducing the number of high school drop outs,
increasing high school completion rates, increasing post-
secondary matriculation rates, improving retention of
post-secondary students until completion of either a 2-
year or 4-year degree, and attracting and retaining
college graduates in southeast Wisconsin. The authors'
focus, therefore, was to examine southeast Wisconsin's
complete educational pipeline, from birth to career. This
report is intended to serve as a baseline snapshot of the
region's education pipeline and will be updated to
capture regional progress toward the educational
attainment goal. The metrics presented provide a general
picture of the number and types of students in the system
at particular points along the pipeline. A list of
Southeast Wisconsin's Public and Nonprofit Colleges and
Universities is appended. (Contains 7 tables, 2 diagrams,
26 charts and 24 footnotes.) [This report was funded by a
grant awarded under the Workforce Innovation in Regional
Economic Development (WIRED) Initiative as implemented by
the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment & Training
Administration.]
