Private sector colleges and universities equip millions of students from diverse social and economic backgrounds with access to career-focused learning and the job skills they need for a successful future in the 21st Century workforce.

With 13 million unemployed and 90 million undereducated, the United States has work ahead on the jobs and economic front-key components of which involves increasing the number of Americans with post-secondary education to fill jobs requiring skilled workers. If the U.S. is to achieve the projected need for eight to 23 million additional educated workers over the next decade, private sector colleges and universities will have to play a vital role of continuing to provide skills-based educational opportunities, particularly to non-traditional students.

Millions of graduates of these career-focused institutions, ranging from veterans to working mothers, are securing quality, well-paying jobs, making important contributions to our global economy, and earning a better life for their families. Private sector schools remain one of the most highly regulated sectors in all of higher education-yet they continue to innovate and to invest in building capacity to effectively educate a workforce that will enhance U.S. competitiveness, and ultimately, our nation's bottom line.
