To measure progress toward our Skilled and Educated Workforce goal, we will:
- Ensure Access to Early Learning Programs, as measured by the percentage of third graders testing as proficient in reading.
- Create Education and Training Opportunities so residents can get good paying jobs and businesses have skilled workers, as measured by the percentage of county residents with a postsecondary degree or industry certification.
- Improve Job Placement and Retention, as measured by the labor force participation rate of county residents.
