•At the current rate, employers in 2025 will need about 23 million more degree holders than our nation’s colleges and universities will have produced.

• Approximately 2/3 of the nation’s college completion goal will come from non-traditional students entering and staying in the pipeline.


• 3 billion people reported to Gallup they want a job that pays a living wage.

• Only 1.2 million jobs in the world currently fit that description.

• As the foreign workforce becomes more educated, competition for jobs will be fierce.


By 2018, 54% of all jobs in Kentucky will require some level of postsecondary education.

Between now and 2018, Kentucky will need to fill 617,000 vacancies resulting from job creation, worker retirements and other factors. Of these job vacancies, 330,000 will require postsecondary credentials.
