This report offers a different vision of how educators, employers, parents, and all those who care about the development of young people should understand and address life after high school. The report finds that students and all Americans need better and more informed choices for the next step after high school, and at every stage of their careers, as they seek the knowledge and skills that will help them succeed in the workplace and meet their economic necessities. It calls upon parents, students, policymakers, and educators to recognize the realities and opportunities of the changing new economy for people of different educational backgrounds -- and to support the increasing importance of lifelong learning to the success of so many Americans.
