Title: The Fate of the American Dream: Strengthening Our Education and Skills Pipeline
Date: 2005
Publisher:
Jobs for the Future
Description:
“In September 2005, top corporate, education, and workforce policymakers came together to address the failure to prepare the nation for the demands of the knowledge-based global economy of the 21st century. Through a dynamic, interactive forum, town hall-style gatherings, and addresses by prominent policymakers, 100 business and government leaders discussed how we can restore the ‘American dream.’ Participants emerged with concrete strategies and resources to help provide more young people and adults with a better education and better careers.�

“The forum concluded with JFF’s release of Education and Skills for the 21st Century: An AGENDA for ACTION. The Agenda looks at how the nation can take advantage of today’s best innovations and new models to rebuild and extend the education pipeline for tomorrow’s needs.�

The forum website has additional information on the program and speakers, and links to forum resources.
