The retreat aimed to align the team's vision for the upcoming year and strategize on sustaining momentum in their initiatives. The retreat's theme, "growing and sustaining," was aptly symbolized by the flywheel metaphor, illustrating the power of sustained effort in achieving long-term success.

The Academies of Louisville Alliance represents the next evolution of this initiative. Representing KentuckianaWorks and GLI, this new team provides the additional staffing and resources needed to support 15 schools, 200+ Business Partners, and over 19,000 high school students.

The Academies of Louisville program has once again demonstrated its positive impact on students' lives, and we're not the only ones taking notice. Business and community leaders gathered to celebrate the year’s successes, helping 19,000 students gain valuable skills and experiences that prepare them for future careers.
