After reviewing data on educational achievement gaps, employment, and economic development, the VSCS led a statewide effort with diverse stakeholders to identify a new goal for post-secondary educational attainment.
The new 70% goal reflects our sense of urgency in addressing immediate workforce and economic development needs for more 52³Ô¹Ïers with post-high school education and inclusivity in supporting a broad range of pathways to post-secondary degrees and credentials for all 52³Ô¹Ïers, including working-age adults and high school students from families without prior college-going experience.
The 52³Ô¹Ï Student Assistance Corporation has taken on the  Partnership, and we remain actively engaged and committed to helping 52³Ô¹Ï reach the 70% attainment goal.
*A credential that indicates completion of a post-secondary academic or professional program that documents a set of skills or experiences as part of a career pathway that leads to employment and/or further educational opportunities.
