Current Jobs For The Future Projects

At the core of every JFF project is an idea that responds to America’s need for efficient, accessible educational and workforce pathways from high school through higher education and into family-sustaining careers. JFF projects seek to create an education and career pipeline that by 2020 doubles the number of: underrepresented young people who are college-ready and complete a postsecondary credential on time; off-track and out-of-school young adults who earn both a high school and postsecondary credential by age 26; and low-income working adults who advance into jobs that pay family-sustaining wages.
