When it comes to readying students for the jobs of the future, America's K-12 education system too often does not sufficiently prepare Black, Latinx, and Indigenous students. Research has shown that this negatively affects these students' life outcomes, specifically in terms of their long-term career prospects and economic security. To change this dynamic, K-12 schools and districts need to do much better at preparing Black, Latinx, and Indigenous for the future workforce. This means preparing them for college, training them to receive high-quality credentials that lead to good jobs with decent pay, and appropriately enrolling them in work-based learning experiences such as internships and apprenticeships. To understand what community members view as necessary to prepare students for the future workforce, the Center for American Progress conducted conversations via virtual forums with Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities in Indiana and New Mexico. The conversations helped the authors understand community leaders' thoughts as well as brainstorm potential solutions to issues raised during the forums. This issue brief applies a race equity, community-centered lens to understand how to prepare Black, Latinx, and Indigenous students for college and the future workforce.
