Climbing Together to Grow West Virginia’s Workforce
Our Campaign to Equip 60% of West Virginians
with a Certificate or Degree by 2030
The Facts
44%
of West Virginians aged 25-64 held at least a certificate or certification in 2021
46%
of recent WV high school graduates enrolled in college in the fall of 2021
60%
of working-aged West Virginians will need a certificate or degree in order to meet future workforce demands
With less than one-third of West Virginians holding an associate degree or higher, our public institutions of higher education must work harder to equip residents with the training and skills necessary to land good, high-paying jobs.
