The Public Policy Institute of California forecasts that we need an additional one million college graduates in our state by 2025 to maintain our quality of life, remain competitive, and meet workforce needs.  And that’s not even the whole story.  Jobs that require more than a high school education but less than a four-year degree – “middle skill” jobs – will represent 43 percent of all job openings between 2006 and 2016, according to a recent California Edge Campaign report.  The demand for middle skill employees will put a greater emphasis on the need for vocational credentials, industry certification and two-year associate degrees.
Because each student who successfully completes college is “one in a million,” The Campaign for College Opportunity is proud to sponsor the One in a Million scholarship contest. The contest invites all currently enrolled college students in California to:

A minimum of 20 scholarships ranging from $500 to $1,000 will be awarded throughout California. Read the rest of this entry »
