Highland County Public Schools

Through our ongoing investments in workforce development we are helping young men and women connect the dots between their education, their aspirations, and our region’s in-demand jobs. As one example, a strategic grant from the Community Foundation supported the creation of the new Advanced Manufacturing Lab in Highland County Public Schools. High school students are responsible for building a suite of 3D printers, designing products in the community, and reinvesting in the lab for future students.

FACT:

1-2-7:  For every 1 job that requires an advanced degree, there are 2 jobs that require a bachelor’s degree and 7 jobs that require some education beyond high school, but less than a bachelor’s degree.
