Postsecondary degree attainment has been a major factor in driving America's economic gains over the last 40 years. America's postsecondary education system is the nation's incubator for human capital, and an educated citizenry encourages innovation, and ultimately, a more prosperous country. CED believes that American postsecondary education – so long an engine of economic growth and opportunity – is faltering, and that an informed and mobilized business community can make an enormous difference in identifying, framing, and supporting critical reform strategies.
We believe that business engagement is necessary to a successful postsecondary education reform effort, and we are recruiting and developing a cadre of educated business champions who will advocate for reforms that will help improve the education attainment of all students and increase the number with valuable postsecondary degrees or certificates.
