Who is OneTen for?
Here’s the Challenge
65%
of Americans are without a four-year degree.
76%
of Black adults at the age of 25 and above do not have a four-year degree.
It’s estimated that as many as 50 to 60% of all jobs in the United States require a four-year degree.
For jobs that pay a family-sustaining wage, the relationship between available jobs and those that can attain them is even more stark.
Did you know? 79% of jobs paying $60K and above require a 4-year degree. 71% of jobs paying $40K and above require a 4-year degree.
