October 2, 2018
In The New York Times‘ weekly Bulletin Board, JFF’s Joel Vargas was quoted in a short story that discussed making high school students’ senior year more valuable.
Vargas shared his belief that weaving a focus on college and career into high schools is an important factor in developing a strong workforce and helping people find good, well-paying jobs.
Communities will need to be more thoughtful about how to provide an on-ramp into the future.
