ABOUT THE INITIATIVE
Over the past six years, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) has supported public media’s American Graduate initiative, helping our country understand the importance of improving high school graduation rates for all youth. Entering its newest phase, American Graduate places its focus on what happens after high school graduation, helping young people access pathways to gainful employment in high-demand career sectors.
Through American Graduate: Getting to Work, ThinkTV is highlighting the changing world of work, the pathways into well-paying, in-demand jobs, and resources available to Greater Dayton residents. Specifically, middle-skills jobs offer opportunities to people looking to start or change a career. These jobs require some education and training after high school, but not necessarily a four-year degree.
