Today, students have limited exposure to technical training and businesses are under strain from a lack of skilled workers. At GPS Education Partners, we work to bridge that divide every day. Your donation will help support and grow our work-based learning programs to close this workforce gap and ensure economic advancement for students, especially among disadvantaged populations.
Did you know less than 66% of Americans who attend a four-year college will graduate? Students are often discouraged as they struggle to connect their education and a meaningful career. And along the way, they are saddled with debt. Yet, the need for skilled labor continues to grow—a staggering two million manufacturing positions are unfulfilled.
Too many Wisconsin youth are stuck in a cycle of poverty, even though many good-paying technical careers are within reach.
GPSEd works to design, build, execute and assess credentialed Work-based Learning (WBL) solutions that transforms education while addressing the need for workforce development. We believe every student deserves an education that will ensure personal fulfillment and economic success!
By making a donation, you can create a bright future for a student, while strengthening your local businesses and communities. With your help we can close the achievement gap by providing greater equity in educational support, attainment, and benefits.
For over 18 years, we’ve helped struggling students realize brighter futures with the support of people like you.
