Transitions – Why Critical Today For most Americans, education and training through and beyond high school is now a necessary condition (not just the most advantageous or desirable route) for developing skills required by most well-paying jobs.
65% of the fastest growing occupations require some postsecondary education or training. • By 2010, 42% of all U.S. jobs will require a vocational certificate, associate degree, bachelor’s degree or higher. Bureau of Labor Statistics
National Statistics on High School Students • For every 100 students who enter the 9th grade: • 21 do not graduate • 79 graduate from high school • 50 enter college within 2 years • 49 complete some college • 21 receive at least a baccalaureate degree
Moreover, • Only 32% of all students in public high school leave high school prepared to attend college.* *The Manhatten Institute
The Education Gap • The rates of high school graduation, college enrollment, postsecondary remediation, and completion vary significantly by race or ethnicity.
Why is this important? • Because minorities are the fastest growing source of workers for the U.S. economy.
Yet, as the data shows: Black and Hispanic students are: • Less likely to graduate from high school • Less likely to enroll in college • Less likely to complete a degree • Less likely to be prepared for the economy of the 21st century
Percent of students who take remedial courses • 63% at two-year institutions • 40% at four-year institutions The Bridge Project Stanford University
