33. We Need Better Outcomes • We are less successful than the top states in the rate of persistence and graduation of adult students. • There are major barriers to adult degree completion • Inadequate financial support for low and moderate income individuals • Insufficient employer incentives to support employee continuing education • Lack of affordable child care • Scheduling conflicts between work and school • Lack of preparation and curricular options

34. Education Pipeline Performance An Insufficient Number of Individuals Prepared for Further Education or Training

35. We Need Better Outcomes • We have a leaky education to work pipeline, resulting in an insufficient number of individuals prepared for further education or training.

36. Key Transition Points in the Education to Work Pipeline • Complete High School • Enter College • Finish College • Enter the Workplace

39. We are a top state when we measure rate of HS graduation. • We are far behind, however, when we look at actual student performance in skills critical to success in post-secondary education and the new jobs. • Despite improvement, Hawaii lags many other states in preparing students to succeed in college.

43. The Bottom Line • We Need to Enhance the State’s Stock of Human Capital • Improved Competencies of High School Graduates • Increased Skills of Adults with Less than a High School Education • Improve Participation and Graduation Rates of College Students • (continued)

44. The Bottom Line (cont.) • We Need to Prepare More Skilled Workers in Critical Need Areas • Nursing/Allied Health • Teachers • Science Technologies • We Need to Expand and Diversify the State’s Economy • Technology Transfer • Rapid Response to Employer’s Training Needs
