Adult Basic Education

The RWA commissioned The Center on Wisconsin Strategy (COWS) to conduct a study of current Adult Basic Education (ABE) students.

The M7 region is working to build the skills of the workforce and ensure that regional employers have the employees with skill level they need. This study provides insightful information on a key population in need of skills-the ABE student. The goal is to understand the population in order to connect them to technical colleges and other post-secondary credentials so they can advance in the regional economy.
