Our Mission

Working together to increase the number of college degrees and high-quality credentials to build a skilled workforce and strong economy.

We Set Our Standards High

Two-thirds of all jobs created during this decade will require post-secondary education–so we created a goal to help the Central Florida workforce meet this standard.

By the year 2025, we want 60% of our community to hold a high-value credential or post-secondary degree.

Right now, we’re at 40%. That’s why we aim to join together with partners from every sector – education, business, government, industry and nonprofit – to fund higher education across all industries.
