Education and Skills for the 21st Century: An Agenda for Action

Posted on November 7, 2005

Based on a September 2005 forum sponsored by Jobs for the Future that brought together business, government, and education leaders, this agenda defines specific steps to connect more young people and adults to better education and better careers. Steps include creating rigorous post-secondary learning and skills training options for young people and nontraditional adult students, and financing a workforce training system that meets the needs of high-quality employers and business sectors.
