POCAST: Utah Thrives – The why and how of boosting post-secondary attainment

Utah Foundation has launched a series of reports on how Utah can boost educational attainment. The first report in that series, Beating the Odds: Post-Secondary Success for Adult, First-Generation and Lower-Income Students, explores various means of promoting both student retention and completion of certificates and degrees. It focuses on subsets of students who have been less likely to attain higher levels of education and receive the socio-economic benefits of that attainment.

In this edition of Utah Thrives, they discuss why post-secondary educational attainment is so important to Utah’s future, and what they learned in the first report. Listen here.
