Graduating College

All youth should receive a quality high school education and graduate with the skills and tools needed to advance to postsecondary education or training.

Postsecondary Education

Every American should have the option to attend postsecondary education and receive the education and training needed for the quality jobs of today and tomorrow.

Successfully Entering Workforce

Anyone who wants a job should be able to get a job that allows them to support themselves and their families.
