Kentucky Bottom Line

Moving Kentucky into the Top Tier of states in education attainment and workforce quality is the focus of a new report released Monday (December 3, 2018), by the Kentucky Business-Education Roundtable. The Roundtable, comprising state education and business leaders and advocates, has developed an ambitious agenda to accelerate Kentucky’s progress by achieving four key goals:

1. Investing in early childhood and preschool – to give kids a solid start
2. Reinventing high school – to make a diploma relevant for the modern economy
3. Ensuring every adult obtains a marketable degree or credential
4. Engaging employers to define needed skills and develop talent supply chains

“Because Kentucky’s economic future depends directly on our state’s ability to produce and attract more talented workers for the modern economy, we must strive year over year to improve our workforce preparation and our rankings in critical measures of education,” the report noted.
