The Challenge
Setbacks at key milestones limit opportunity later in life
When learning and career preparation gaps go unaddressed, young people hit roadblocks that narrow their chances for future success.
About 130 million Americans aged 16-74 read below a sixth-grade level.
Each year, around 1.2 million young people don’t have the support they need to finish high school.
Only 47.1% of adults hold college degrees, and just 7.8% have certificates or certifications.
