Cecelia Holden, President and CEO of myFutureNC, discusses the state of educational attainment in NC
Manage episode 469490984 series 16410
In 2019, with bipartisan support in the General Assembly and a signature from then-Governor Roy Cooper, North Carolina adopted one of the nation’s most ambitious education goals–to have two-million residents aged 25-44 with a postsecondary degree or industry-valued credential by 2030. The idea was and is that boosting these numbers will foster upward mobility and greater economic prosperity while meeting business and industry’s current and future workforce needs.
Since that time, the state has made some important and impressive progress in achieving the objective, but as Newsline learned in recent special extended conversation with Cecelia Holden, President and CEO of the bipartisan nonprofit My Future NC, the state still has a long way to go and must wrestle with some significant challenges if it hopes to hit its goal in the five years that remain.
