This report from the Center for Postsecondary and Economic Success at the Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP) includes brief profiles of Minnesota’s FastTRAC initiative, Washington’s Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training (I-BEST) program, and Illinois’s bridge programs as examples of promising state policy strategies to address the problem of low-skilled students in the workforce. The authors provide suggestions for how to shape state policy in order to improve the success of low-skilled people in a postsecondary education life.
