We Can Build a Stronger Economy by Elevating Leadership in Career and Technical Education
Job reports from the Department of Labor paint a rosy picture of the American economy: one with widespread job growth and the lowest unemployment rate in decades. Yet, many of these new jobs are unfilled because employers struggle to find qualified workers with the right education and training.
Our team at ECMC Foundation understood early on that thousands of these jobs in high-demand fields, like manufacturing, information technology and healthcare, don't always require a bachelor's degree, but rather could be obtained by earning career and technical education (CTE) credentials up to an associate degree.
