myFutureNC Local Educational Attainment Collaboratives
Launched by ncIMPACT Initiative
In 2018, the ncIMPACT Initiative at the UNC School of Government (ncIMPACT) and myFutureNC, with support from the John M. Belk Endowment, Dogwood Health Trust, and UNC Rural, launched a pilot program supporting 15 local educational attainment collaboratives across North Carolina, seeking to significantly increase the number of students successfully completing post-secondary credentials of value in the workforce: a degree, credential, or certification. These collaboratives offered an organized way to respond to community challenges that no single institution or even an entire sector can effectively tackle.
What We Accomplished
Find an executive summary of the myFutureNC Local Educational Attainment Collaboratives program along with a third-party evaluation report on our work. Dig deeper on local impact by reading individual team case study profiles, which include information about local partners, practices and outcomes, policies and other barriers, resource flows and sustainability, and mental models and power dynamics.
This effort was aligned with the state’s legislative goal of 2 million individuals between the ages of 25-44 who possess a high-quality credential or postsecondary degree by 2030.
Our Reach
This project brought together 15 teams from 41 different counties across North Carolina. Teams were comprised of local schools and colleges, workforce development boards, non-profit organizations, and other efforts with aligned missions. Each collaboration formed with a new name, as shown in this map legend.
