JFF's #NoDeadEnds campaign calls for bold policy actions to expand opportunities for learners and workers, especially those who are stuck without #qualityjobs and face systemic barriers to advancement. But who are these bold policies designed for? Read JFF's new No Dead Ends policy road map to learn how our federal and state policy recommendations are designed to serve: 👨🎓 The two-thirds of Gen Z students who are worried about taking on college debt for a postsecondary pathway that doesn’t lead to a quality job. 💻 The more than half of adults who believe they need to gain new skills to prepare for the impacts of artificial intelligence and other seismic changes to the economy. 🔑 The one-third of U.S. adults with records of arrests, convictions, or incarceration who face a complex web of rules and regulations that exclude them from pursuing jobs they’re qualified for or can learn to do. 👶 The tens of thousands of people in this country who are forced to stay home from work each month because of child care issues. 💼 The disproportionately large share of Black workers who are employed in low-wage jobs and who face occupational segregation in high-wage, high-quality career fields. No Dead Ends is a set of specific, actionable policy solutions that will enable us to achieve the ambitious goal we at JFF have embraced as our North Star: By 2033, 75 million people facing systemic barriers to advancement will work in quality jobs.
