The way forward.

• Engage local, regional, and statewide stakeholders to communicate the need for greater attainment and eliminate the gap between the skills employers require and the education and training available throughout the state
• Better align and coordinate systems to support students at all levels, from pre-K education on up through high-quality certificate, associate, and higher-degree programs
• Catalyze innovative, effective ideas, and identify best practices that can be applied from the mountains to the coast, in our cities, towns, and rural areas
• Monitor progress and improve our efforts each and every year
