U.S. Workforce Projections by Required Education Level, 2020
In 1973, only 28% of all U.S. jobs required postsecondary education/skills. By 2020, 59% of the jobs in Texas will require this level of education.
Currently,
38%
of Texans have an certificate or degreeSlide3
COMPLETION
Goal: By 2030, at least
550,000
students in that year will complete a certificate, associate, bachelor’s, or master’s from
an institution of higher

Clifford Adelman conducted the most comprehensive analysis on linkage between HS and college success….

Clifford Adelman, The Toolbox Revisited: Paths to Degree Completion From High School Through College, 2006
The academic intensity of the student’s high school curriculum still counts more than
anything else in precollegiate history in providing momentum toward completing a bachelor’s degree.The highest level
of mathematics reached in high school continues to be a key marker in precollegiate momentum, with the tipping point of momentum toward a bachelor’s degree now firmly above Algebra 2.The Adelman study examined a sample size of 12,000 student transcripts representing a weighted 2.9 million students enrolled in 8
th grade in 1988 and tracked through 2000.Slide14
