College & Careers

Jobs in a 21st century economy require more than the traditional high school diploma. Critical thinking and problem-solving skills, the ability to communicate effectively and work as a team, and a fluency with emerging technologies are vital for those entering the work force today. A raft of recent education reforms have recognized this shift and are asking schools to do more to ensure that students graduate from high school with the skills they’ll need to succeed not only in college, but also as professional adults in the workplace.
