Issue Position

Schools should offer opportunities for students to practice the skills they've learned in the classroom. By encouraging partnerships between schools and local businesses, students will have access to real-world working environments and adequately prepare them to enter the job market. In addition to transforming education practices, we need to alleviate financial burdens for future graduates by providing funding for high schools that offer college credit programs. By earning their degrees sooner, students won't have to rely so heavily on student loans and graduate more quickly with practical degrees.
