Why Pathways?
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics December 2009
By the end of the decade,
8 out of 10 new jobs will
require post-secondary
education
By 2018, the American economy will create 46.8 million openings--13.8 million brand-new jobs and 33 million “replacement jobs.”
Nearly two-thirds of these 46.8 million jobs…will require workers with at least some college education…
Carnevale et al.
EmploymentFour out of five jobs lost during the
recession were those requiring high school education or less. Those low-skill jobs are gone for good, replaced by jobs that require specialized training and skills.
Despite a lingering high unemployment rate, employers say that they lack qualified job applicants. By 2020, two thirds of all jobs will require postsecondary education.

The societal impact of higher attainment rates
… overall better social, economic and personal outcomes for citizens. Societies with higher educational attainment can expect: greater civic and social engagement, higher rates of voter participation and volunteerism, healthier lifestyles, and less dependence on public assistance.
http://strongernation.luminafoundation.org/report/
Degree AttainmentAccording to the most recent
available data (2013), 40% of working-age Americans (25-64) in the U.S. have at least a two-year degree.
It was 36.9% in Arizona in 2013; it was 34.4% in 2008

“Necessary but not sufficient”
1. High School is not enough for the jobs, careers and the economy we want for Arizona• “By 2018, it is estimated 2/3 of all available jobs will require
postsecondary education or training. Increasingly, high school graduation is necessary but not sufficient to becoming a productive and engaged citizen.”
2. Redefining High Schools: Focusing only on traditional strategies and interventions is not enough, and some need to reassessed • Repeating a full class if a student fails a course vs targeting; • Seat time vs competency for remediation; • Relevance and interest—CTE, Dual/concurrent enrollment, Early
College and Career high Schools
3. Multi-pronged focus and Goals: Singular focus on AZ Ready Grad Rate goal leaves opportunities on the table to impact other AZ Ready goals and economic viability for AZ• Connection to higher ed goals enhances efficacy and efficiency
