Current Degrees & Credentials Earned

Our goal is to generate 48,000 post-secondary degrees and high-value career credentials by 2025.

48,000 Degrees and Credentials

Summit County is experiencing typical educational attainment growth. In fact, we expect to grow about 1 percent in educational attainment every three years. Although this is good news, it is not nearly enough to propel our region forward to fill the anticipated career vacancies. That is why we have embarked to achieve this community goal of increasing our county’s degree attainment to 48,000 new college degrees and high-value career credentials by 2025. When we achieve this goal, Summit County will be among the top 10 percent of urban counties in the country in terms of educational attainment growth.
