Performance Detail
A: Result -Increase Alaskans" successful participation in postsecondary education. |
Target #2: Growth to equal the national average of Alaska high school graduates continuing to postsecondary education within a year of graduation..
The Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education"s (ACPE) mission is to provide Alaska"s students, parents, and teachers/mentors with the information and financial aid resources necessary to access and successfully complete higher education. ACPE mission-related services include 1) outreach to increase public awareness of the importance of postsecondary education and training and the critical steps leading to success; 2) statewide programs that incentivize students to aspire to education beyond high school that leads to an economically successful career in the Alaska workforce; 3) financial aid programs for Alaska students pursuing higher education; and 4) building Alaska"s capacity to report on the state"s return on investment of public funding for education/workforce training programs and services. The desired end results from these strategies are more than an increase in the numbers; they are development of a trained, competitive Alaska citizenry who are well prepared to meet the state"s workforce demands of the future and leverage a strong economy through attracting business and industry investment in our state.
