#GenZ is embracing a diverse array of career pathways, but more options don't always equal better outcomes. We should provide learners w/ more accurate info so that they can make informed decisions. Lean more in @Forbes from @jfftweets' @MariaKFlynn: https://t.co/JBecjmwvh7

Our bipartisan panel featuring guest speakers @SenTimKaine and @RepSmucker note how businesses constantly talk about the need for workers and how policy proposals like short-term #Pell, WIOA reauthorization, etc. could help address the need. #JFFHorizons #NoDeadEnds

.@EubanksDavis from @BeBraven talks about the importance of "go slow to go fast" -- meaning that it's important to first seek other perspectives, listen to key stakeholders, & try to understand partner's complexities (including employers) in order to accelerate work. #JFFHorizons

A @jfftweets brief highlights state financing models that encourage students to think strategically about their postsec pathway. It also shows how states can incentivize edu systems to rethink their purpose to focus more on students' early career outcomes.

Great report by @edstrategygroup & @ASA_Impact examining how states measure students’ long-term success after high school. They found that most states are focused on college and career readiness than on #postsecondary and #workforce outcomes.
NEW in @The74: @RyanEReyna and @mdeuser make the case that “if the ultimate goal of education is to set students on a path to economic opportunity and mobility, more states [and K-12 systems] need to place greater emphasis on postsecondary outcomes.” https://t.co/ie8v83DIfB
