Graduation and beyond: What comes next?
Supporting students for a brighter future
We know that education positively impacts a person’s quality of life, health, employment, and living wage. The future of our students, our communities, and our state depend on a K-12 system that helps everyone succeed, whether their post-graduation plans include employment, enrollment, or enlistment leading to service. We measure the long-term success of each Hoosier by examining indicators such as median income and sustained employment.
99% of new jobs created since the Great Recession (2008/2009) go to Americans with some education beyond high school.
