Market-Able America Twitter Town Hall Social Media Toolkit

Use #AFPresidential16 to join the Twitter town hall and ask questions on October 7, 2016 at 1PM ET.

Far too many students from under-resourced populations, including students from low-income backgrounds or those living with a disability, continue to face significant barriers to accessing and succeeding in post-secondary education programs.
Empowering these students to succeed in post-secondary education and beyond will require reimagining our higher education system
by more fully aligning it with workforce development and national service to create clear pathways into the workforce; providing relevant information and individualized, continuous support – beginning in the K-12 system and continuing through college graduation – to help students and families navigate post-secondary education and
the transition to the workforce; and, embracing new strategies that provide stronger linkages between post-secondary education and career, and which reduce the unsustainable financial burden too often shouldered by students.

Federal policies must embrace innovation, promote competency, and reassert a focus on outcomes that reflect the needs of the full spectrum of today’s students, not just first-time, full-time students, as well as the demands of today’s economy. Such a shift in our mindset regarding higher education is critical if we are to reduce the number of students who are unable to complete their post-secondary program, who are buried under unsustainable debt, or who graduate but are unprepared for the rigors of the global economy. To meet these challenges requires new strategies to make post-secondary education more responsive to the needs of all students.
