C3R is a five-year career and college readiness initiative for Kentucky students, which begins in the 8th grade and is integrated in the curriculum. It is a collaboration between KVEC, GRREC, WIN, Inc and the Rand Corporation.
According to the Center for Education and the Workforce, in the next 7-10 years, more than half of the jobs in Kentucky and more than 60% of jobs nationwide will require post-secondary education (either a 2 year or 4 year degree). Most remaining jobs will require at least some training after high school.
Kentucky's current statewide college/career readiness rate is 38%.
All Kentucky school districts have pledged to increase the college/career readiness of their high school students by 50% by 2015.
