Proud to join @Hunt_Institute - Guilford County Attainment Summit to discuss how North Carolina's attainment landscape connects to local workforce needs.
Reaching our goal of 2 million North Carolinians with a high-quality credential or postsecondary degree by 2030 will require strong regional partnerships and local action.

The Hunt Institute was honored to convene nearly 100 stakeholders at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington for the New Hanover County Attainment Summit. The event brought together leaders across education, workforce, industry, nonprofits, government, and philanthropy to analyze the local attainment landscape, evaluate existing workforce development programs, and construct actionable plans to address remaining barriers to access and opportunity.

The summit’s core mission was to catalyze cross-sector collaboration among local leaders, elected officials, industry partners, educators, and community stakeholders to strengthen regional education and workforce pathways. Throughout the day, strategic conversations continually highlighted the vital importance of aligning K-12, higher education, and workforce systems to ensure more North Carolinians are equipped for long-term career success.

A special thank you to our partners at @myFutureNC and our dedicated advisory council members for making this day possible.

For too many students and working adults, opportunity can feel like something they have to leave home to find.
The Workforce Act of 2026 is designed to change that by investing in apprenticeships, work-based learning, career navigation, and employer-valued credentials that connect North Carolinians to real opportunities right in their own communities.
Thank you to Trey Cash and the NC Global TransPark Economic Development Region for highlighting why this matters so deeply for eastern North Carolina and our state’s workforce future.
