Goal 3
Universal access to postsecondary opportunity and success
Living-wage jobs of today and tomorrow require some education and/or training beyond high school. These opportunities must be fully accessible for all residents of all backgrounds and locations throughout the state – including for working adults looking to retrain, upskill or change professions – with the academic and financial support they need to succeed.
Tab 3A College Access will be updated for 2024 when the data becomes available.
