Who We Are
To ensure North Carolina remains economically competitive now and into the future, in 2019, with bipartisan support in the General Assembly and a signature from the Governor, the state adopted one of the most ambitious goals in the nation–to have 2 million North Carolinians aged 25-44 hold an industry-valued credential or postsecondary degree by 2030.
Increasing educational attainment opportunities for all is essential for fostering upward mobility and enhanced economic prosperity for our citizens and communities while meeting business and industry's current and future workforce needs. Additionally, higher levels of education promote economic development and social mobility while enhancing our citizens' quality of life, health, and public safety.
Mission
- myFutureNC promotes work of all sectors and helps find and fill gaps to drive educational access and attainment outcomes that align with and fulfill employer needs.
- myFutureNC promotes a shared vision for an education-to-workforce continuum across North Carolina - from early childhood through adulthood - and aligns and supports local, regional, and state actions that will dramatically increase the attainment of industry-valued credentials and postsecondary degrees.
Vision
North Carolina employers have the necessary skilled workforce to meet business demands, and every individual in the labor market earns a family-sustaining wage in a personally fulfilling career. This positions our state to remain economically competitive now and into the future.
