Episode 31: Education Accelerates Opportunity! (HSED)
In this episode, we expand our focus beyond Kenosha County to explore an initiative spanning Racine and Walworth counties. Building Our Future sits down with Zyaire Strowder, Student Engagement Associate at Higher
Expectations of Racine County; Marie Hargrove, Managing Director of Mission Programs for the YWCA of Southeastern Wisconsin; and Shayla Malone, Transition
Specialist at Gateway Technical College. They discuss a tri-county HSED initiative. The YWCA’s 5.09 HSED program, approved by the Department of Public Instruction, is centered on coursework instead of testing. Participants attend classes for 12 hours per week over 20 weeks, with a curriculum that emphasizes workforce skills and real-life applications. Join us as we delve into the
significance of high school attainment and how organizations across three counties are collaborating to create pathways for economic mobility.
