65 by 2025 - Alaska Can!? Alaska Postsecondary Access & Completion Network Conference
The 2015 Postsecondary Access and Success Conference is a time for Alaskans from all walks - education, business, public service - to unite and work together on increasing the number of Alaskans enrolling and succeeding in postsecondary education. Postsecondary education includes apprenticeships, industry-recognized licensure, workforce credentials, certificates, and degrees.
Take aways:
- A common understanding and sense of urgency concerning Alaska’s serious postsecondary access & completion challenge, and related workforce implications
- Knowledge about the Network, including how you can be part of the 65 by 2025 goal
- Bridging of cross-sector gaps through active discussions
- Deeper and shared knowledge of Alaska initiatives, service coverages and gaps, and existing best practices
