College plays an obvious and vital role in equipping American workers with the knowledge and skillsets necessary to ensure, not just their own personal success, but the country’s future, providing training in specialized fields, driving economic growth and innovation, and ensuring that the nation can adapt and keep pace in a rapidly changing global economy.
It’s true that college may not be for everyone, but all Americans benefit from achievements in fields such as engineering, healthcare, information technology, business, science, and the arts, areas that play critical roles in advancing the U.S. economy. American companies and the consumers they serve depend on higher education to provide the in-depth training their employees need to excel as professionals capable of creative and critical thinking, analysis and problem-solving, and the ability to continue learning as circumstances change. And we know the world is changing fast. If we want American companies to continue driving innovation, advancing new technologies, and raising productivity to improve the quality of life for everyone, then they will need a workforce that has the best education possible. They will need college.
