Benchmark 4:
Academic Infrastructure

As part of our commitment to aligning the Legacy P-Tech program with high-demand regional workforce needs, Legacy the School of Sport Sciences has conducted a comprehensive Labor Market Analysis for our Business Administration pathway, with a concentration in Marketing. This analysis identifies projected job growth, industry demand, and local employment trends within our surrounding community. The findings validate our program's focus, ensuring students are equipped with skills that meet evolving expectations of employers in the business and marketing sectors. This analysis supports our mission to provide students with relevant, high-wage, high-skill career opportunities upon graduation.
