Miss the Fast Track deadline this year? Don't worry, there will still be all the great programs that Fast Track covers next year, including Criminal Justice! Criminal Justice can be a very rewarding career path!

@salmons_sarah @ottensam What a great opportunity to share ideas on how to address high-need teacher shortages around the state!

[MO Higher Education & Workforce Development @MODHEWD]

Low-income, first generation, minority and working adult students all rely on community colleges for an equitable education. Despite challenges, nearly half a million Missouri students have plans to enroll. #MoEquity

The number of public high school graduates taking remedial courses in college decreased from 19.8% in 2019 to 17.3% in 2020. That rate has dropped each year since fall 2013 when #MDHEWD recommended co-requisite courses to replace remedial courses - saving students money and time.

When the governor name drops your hometown, and mentions the great work of many of your colleagues in state government (@MrsSamDickey, @jeannacaldwell, and @MardyLeathers to name a few) at the State of the State address #MissouriSOTS

[Erik Anderson @HigherEdErik]

Having grown up in Troy, and graduated from @Linc_R3 schools, I am excited for this opportunity in my home community #ShowMeSuccess

[Missouri DESE @MOEducation]

Live from #MissouriSOTS: Ranken Technical College’s new $7.5M advanced manufacturing training facility in Troy, in partnership with @Linc_R3 Schools, is a GREAT example of what we can accomplish when education, government & the private sector work together. #ShowMeSuccess

[MO Higher Education & Workforce Development @MODHEWD]

Increasing funding to Missouri student financial aid programs like A+, Access Missouri, and Bright Flight, is vital to helping students access education and training. Thank you @GovParsonMO for recommending increases to maintain program growth. #MissouriSOTS

[Erik Anderson @HigherEdErik]

At the State of the State Address, @GovParsonMO mentions that 80% of Fast Track recipients, financial aid focused on returning adults, are female and 50% are first-generation #MissouriSOTS
