“After the pandemic I know there’s a desire to go back to ‘normal,’ but we have to remember our [education and workforce] systems were deeply inequitable and leaving far too many people behind”- @amyloyd1

One of the key levers of college and career pathways is intermediaries, so it’s exciting to see all these great types of lead organizations in the #GoodJobsChallenge funded by the #AmericanRescuePlan!

Kicking off #PoP10Years with JFF CEO @MariaKFlynn! Reflecting that our PtoP network brings together states and regions from all across the country and despite partisan divides, college and career pathways are a strategy that democrats and republicans both support. @jfftweets

Nancy Hoffman, co-founder of Pathways to Prosperity Network- "53 million workers earn less than $15.00 an hour; at 40 hours a week that’s $31,200 annually". The goal of pathways if connect people with high-wage, high-demand jobs and the need is great!

Dr. DeSanctis speaks to all education programs being workforce development programs because all students want access to good jobs. This challenges the false binary of liberal arts vs technical education because all students need a mix of skills. @jfftweets

@PresidentBaston on college and career pathways cross-sector partnership: "asking for buy in is asking people to pick up what you're putting down, where as co-creating allows for co-development and shared accountability" #JFFPathways @jfftweets
