Bradley’s Program Supports Public Agenda Goals
“The ICWS program supports the Public Agenda goals:
• Goal 2 by allowing students to reduce their reliance on student loans while providing a link between academic programs and employment;
• Goal 3 by prioritizing work study opportunities for students seeking degrees in high demand fields;
• Goal 4 by increasing the pool of funds for job training, which can result in businesses expansions in Illinois and full-time employment for students after graduation.”
(excerpt from IBHE Allocation Recommendations, p. 83)
