Pathways to Prosperity Harvard Study

The Pathways to Prosperity Project was launched in October 2008 at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.  Their work focused on creating a regional collaborative effort to address the challenge to improve Career and Technical Education in High Schools.  There is growing evidence of a “Skills Gap” in which many young adults lack the skills needed for jobs that pay a middle class wage.  This “forgotten half” challenge has deepened with the growing importance of post-secondary education to success in the labor market.  The question becomes, how much and what kind of post-secondary education is really needed to prosper in the new American economy.
