Why CCTI ?
10
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.
11

• 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,
  bachelors degree or higher.

Bureau of Labor Statistics
12
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

13
Moreover,

• Only 32 of all students in public high school
  leave high school prepared to attend college.

14
The Education Gap

• The rates of high school graduation, college
  enrollment, postsecondary remediation, and
  completion vary significantly by race or
  ethnicity.

15

16
Why is this important?

• Because minorities are the fastest growing source
  of workers for the U.S. economy.

17
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

18
Percent of students who take remedial courses

• 63 at two-year institutions
• 40 at four-year institutions

22
Bottom Line Improving Transitions is a
Critical Activity

• Because

23
We compete in a global economy
24
The United States has benefited from its size
and the flexibility of its labor markets. But it
cannot remain a first-rate economic power with
scores and graduation rates that lag behind those
of other countries.
