Abstract: A college education has long been accepted as a way to promote economic advancement. However, inequality in post-secondary access has limited educational attainment in the state of Florida. To combat this, Governor DeSantis issued Executive Order 19-31 to move Florida’s workforce education from 24th to 1st in the nation while ensuring students are prepared for the dynamic labor market. About two million more working age Floridians must achieve a shortterm credential to achieve this goal. This is far greater than the current 700,000 students enrolled in the Florida College Systems.1 Therefore, accomplishing this task requires the state to focus on the demographic of students who make up the smallest fraction of post-secondary attainment achievers: low-income students.
