REGIONAL STRATEGIES

60x30: EDUCATED POPULATION

COMPLETION

HIGH SCHOOL-TO-HIGHER EDUCATION

Representatives of two- and four-year institutions of higher education will collaborate to identify stop-out and drop-out students in our region and develop a plan highlighting potential degree/certificate completion pathways relevant and specific to individual students (including degree audits from multiple institutions). Representatives will also coordinate with the Texas Workforce Commission/Workforce Solutions to identify career opportunities in the High Plains Region and will develop methods to communicate both completion pathways and career opportunities to the students.

All institutions of higher education in the High Plains Region will work together to utilize, transcript, and embed state-mandated field of study curricula into guided pathway degree programs.

High Plains Region school districts, two-year, and four-year institutions of higher education will work together to provide seamless guided pathways from high school dual-credit to associates and baccalaureate degrees in both academic and career and technical fields. Partners will also work together to increase FAFSA completion rates for high school seniors to encourage post-graduation participation.
