Complete College Georgia

By 2020, it is estimated that over 60% of jobs in Georgia will require some form of college education – a certificate, diploma, associate’s degree, or bachelor’s degree

Currently in Georgia, only 42% of the state’s young adults (ages 25-34) have such credentials

Georgia must produce 250,000 more post-secondary graduates above the expected number to meet the need by 2020
