In partnership with the UChicago Consortium on School Research, the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC), the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), and the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES).

Project Overview

What are the career outcomes of Illinois high school seniors from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, and which pathways through college and work offer the most promising prospects?

To answer these questions, IWERC joined with the University of Chicago Consortium on School Research, the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC), the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), and the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) to analyze data from the Illinois High School 2 Career project.
