We are excited to learn more about Strada Education Foundation’s 2025 State Opportunity Index, a framework designed to help policymakers, higher education system leaders, and colleges and universities better connect education with opportunity.
📈 This year’s report shows that college provides a positive return on investment (ROI) for 70 percent of graduates among public institutions.
Research shows that there are five keys to boosting ROI for significantly more students in our nation:
📊 Clear Outcomes – providing accurate information on career and earnings outcomes so learners can make well-informed choices.
🤝 Quality Coaching – offering personalized guidance and support so learners can navigate education and career pathways with confidence.
💲Affordability – making sure cost is never an insurmountable barrier to opportunity.
💼 Work-Based Learning – expanding opportunities for paid internships, apprenticeships, and other immersive experiences that connect education to career.
💻 Employer Alignment – ensuring prepared learners can readily access programs that lead to quality jobs and upward financial mobility.
