Education for Employment (E4E), also known as PI-26, is a legislative mandate in the State of Wisconsin that mandates the integration of Academic and Career Planning in all public schools. The primary goals of this initiative encompass:
Equipping all students for future employment.
Ensuring technical literacy to foster continuous learning throughout life.
Promoting good citizenship.
Facilitating collaboration among business, industry, labor, post-secondary, and public schools.
Establishing a role for public schools in the economic development of Wisconsin.
E4E serves as a school district program aimed at enhancing students' workforce readiness skills. Its implementation involves actively involving students in shaping their future identities, supporting personal growth, and achieving career aspirations. The E4E plan is achieved through meaningful experiences that establish connections between learning and real-world applications, fostering confidence, focus, and passion to inform their chosen career pathways.
In the School District of Whitefish Bay, the E4E plan concentrates on aligning existing systems and strategically implementing enhanced services with the District Focus Plan serving as our North Star. The goal is to engage staff in supporting students by fostering internal motivation and nurturing a vision for their future. The ultimate objective is for all students to graduate with a clear sense of purpose, equipped to capitalize on diverse opportunities in order to achieve their career aspirations.
