Abstract: In the wake of the Great Recession, Georgetown University researchers projected that 58 percent of Tennessee jobs would require education beyond high school by 2020 (Carnevale et al., 2013). This inspired the “Drive to 55” in Tennessee—the goal to have at least 55 percent of the working-age population hold a postsecondary certificate or degree by 2025. The state invested considerable resources in providing new pathways and encouraging completion of a variety of credentials and degree programs, largely focused on two-year college credentials.
