Webinar: Putting Education to Work: How States Are Connecting College to Careers – Jun 24

Posted by Strada on June 16, 2026

Go to college, get a good job, strengthen your community, pass it on — it works for many, but not enough. State leaders feel the urgent need for solutions that ensure strong connections between education after high school and economic opportunity for every student, especially those who face the greatest barriers.

Join Strada Education Foundation and the community of national and state leaders actively building solutions that close the gaps between classrooms and careers for a webinar from 2 to 3 p.m. Eastern time,  Wednesday, June 24.

In light of what the State Opportunity Index reveals about progress in individual states and nationally, panelists will highlight practical strategies that all who seek to connect education to opportunity can apply to their work. The discussion also will include an insider’s view into how the cross-sector leaders in Louisiana are bringing their aspirations for education and workforce alignment to life through a combination of partnerships, programs, and legislation.
