What happened
The Aspen Institute has shown interest in ongoing efforts in North Carolina. North Carolina employers are facing a worker shortage, particularly in rural areas. The state set a goal to have two million residents aged 25 to 44 with degrees or industry-recognized credentials by 2030, but still needs about 277,000 more qualified young people.
Why it matters
The state's reliance on community colleges to train students and connect them with employers is a key part of addressing the labor gap. Leaders note that the need for healthcare and manufacturing workers is a common requirement across rural North Carolina.
