| Notes |
The New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) in April 2017 convened the Commission on Higher Education & Employability, under the leadership of Rhode Island Governor Gina M. Raimondo. The Commission brought together stakeholders from higher education, government, business and other sectors to commit to increasing the work readiness of New England’s college graduates for a rapidly changing, increasingly complex economy and society.
Through its work, the Commission sought to ensure a successful, equitable workforce future where education provides not only a well-documented earnings premium,
but also meaningful, fulfilling work; where employers see developing talent as a sound investment; and where better-aligned institutions and employers prepare New Englanders for sustained contributions to the well-being of the region. |
