Postsecondary System Changes: Lesson from the Learn and Earn to Achieve Potential Initiative

Reports on a study by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Jobs for America’s Graduates, JFF, MDRC, School & Main Institute and 10 local partnerships in eight states. The initiative launched in partnership with the Social Innovation Fund to connect young people with postsecondary education and employment. The focus was on young people ages 15-25 in the child welfare or justice system, or who are homeless, and was meant to improve educational and economic opportunities and systems for youth and young adults.
