College and Career Pathways: A Strategy for State Economic Success

We support Great Lakes communities in building high-quality college and career pathways that equip students—particularly students who have historically been marginalized or underrepresented—to thrive in college, career, and beyond.

The stakes are high for programs and policies that transform our nation’s systems of working and learning. You need to ask the right questions, collect the right data, and conduct the right analyses to know what works and how to improve.  

JFF’s Research & Analytics Unit combines deep field knowledge with rigorous and systematic inquiry to create strong evidence that can be put into action.

JFF’s policy team offers fresh ideas on education, poverty alleviation, and workforce issues that prepare students and workers for the jobs of the future and boost our nation's economy.
