Education Council

In 2022, leaders from both the School District of Janesville (SDOJ) and Forward Janesville gathered to discuss the intersection between education and workforce development -- specifically, how might they work together to better prepare local students for long-term success in the face of changing workforce needs and priorities?

This turned out to be the first of many meetings to come, and what today is known as the Education Council.

To learn more about the formation and objectives of the Education Council, read "The Future of Education" from a 2023 issue of our FJI Report.
