Today Strada releases its inaugural State Opportunity Index, a research-backed framework designed to help states measure the success of their education-to-employment pathways in five priority areas.
Policymakers, educators, and business leaders all want the same thing for future generations.
Good jobs. Secure incomes. Successful lives.
But how do we ensure that future? How do we know an education after high school will lead to equitable opportunity for all students?
Today Strada releases its inaugural State Opportunity Index, a research-backed framework designed to help states measure the success of their education-to-employment pathways in five priority areas. By focusing on measures that are student-centered, data-informed, and equity-driven, the State Opportunity Index helps strengthen the connection between post-high school education and opportunity.
A distinguished group of experts served as advisors for the State Opportunity Index. Three of them share their experiences working on the report and explain its potential for impact.
