  3. Pathways to Prosperity • about 4 in 10 Americans have obtained either an associate’s or bachelor’s degree by their mid-twenties. • 56 % of those enrolling in a four-year college attain a bachelor’s degree after six years • less than 30 % of those who enroll in community college succeed in obtaining an associate’s degree within three years. • only 30 % of African-Americans and fewer than 20 % of Latinos in their mid-20s have an associate’s degree or higher. • The College Board has set a goal of raising our college completion rate to 55 % by 2025, what about the other 45 %? Harvard Graduate School of Education, February 2011

  4. Pathways to Prosperity • Given these dismal attainment numbers, a narrowly defined “college for all” goal—one that does not include a much stronger focus on career-oriented programs that lead to occupational credentials—seems doomed to fail.

  5. Pathways to Prosperity • In the U.S., our goal should be to assist every young adult beginning at the end of middle school to develop an individualized pathway plan that would include career objectives; a program of study; degree and/or certificate objectives; and work-linked learning experiences…Young adults simply can’t chart a course if they don’t have a goal.

  9. Where will jobs be found? California’s Forgotten Middle-Skill Jobs Skills2Compete-California, October 2009 • Some 43 percent of all job openings in California between now and 2016 will be in middle-skill jobs. • Middle-skill jobs require more than a high school diploma but less than a four-year college degree. • Middle-skill occupations generally require highly skilled trade and technical workers with several years of training and on- the-job experience.
