FJI Report

The FJI Report is Forward Janesville's quarterly magazine. The publication highlights important news, member businesses and our volunteers that make an impact in Janesville and Rock County.

In our latest edition, Fall 2024, we take a closer look at the bright future we're building together when it comes to education and workforce development. The message seems to be everywhere: "Help Wanted." Skilled, unskilled, full-time, part-time. Workers are needed. Education and workforce development have long been core components of Forward Janesville's mission. While the organization's initiatives in that are have changed over the last three decades, the commitment to being responsive to local business needs has not. Read more about programs like Craftsman With Character and the Janesville Business Academy and learn more about how we're training and engaging students to keep them here in Rock County.
