Breakout session to follow the panel discussion.

Light refreshments served.

By the year 2025, 60 percent of jobs in Georgia will require post-secondary education, such as a graduate certificate, associate’s degree or bachelor’s degree. However, only about 47 percent of Georgia’s potential workforce currently meets those educational criteria, creating a need for 250,000 additional credentialed or degreed employment candidates by the year 2025.

To meet this challenge, community leaders must understand the opportunities and barriers to post-secondary education and find ways to support students on their path into the workforce. We will address various solutions posed at a state and local level that include
Expanding need-based aid for students
Dual enrollment opportunities
Increasing access to technical school programs and certifications for adult learners
