📢 EXTRA EXTRA – New Report Hot off the Press 📢
<!–
<!–

We wanted to let you know about an important report by our research partners at the Center for Regional Economic Competitiveness. The report, titled “Bridging Data Disparities: How Intermediary Organizations Can Build Capacity to Support Equitable Education and Career Pathways,” demonstrates how state and regional organizations can gain data-related capabilities to improve the education and employment results for low-income, Black, and Latinx youth.

C2ER leaders contributed to this report, and the results will be featured at the forthcoming C2ER Conference in Norfolk in June. Please invite your regional partners to the conference to learn more about how they can advance their data capabilities. If you find this useful, please forward this to education and workforce policy leaders in your state. Contact Allison Forbes, VP of Research at CREC, if you have any questions.
