EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT INITIATIVE
It is said that it takes a village.... in Wyoming, we are that village. As a whole, we will work together to increase the percentage of the working population that possess a valuable post-secondary credential to 67% by 2025. We will get to that outcome by achieving goals to increase educational attainment and economic opportunity for citizens, communities and businesses because in Wyoming, we are a working village.
