their education prepare them for a job, and more than half of recent graduates are unemployed or underemployedit's not for lack of jobs. tells us of statistics more recently we have more job openings than jobseekers in america. a number of these jobs are higher paying higher skill jobs in areas like health care, cyber security, manufacturing. unfortunately those looking for work don't have the skill sets that employers are seeking. the western governors association spent the last year studying the skills gap. we found that integrating state efforts, increasing the availability of training, expanding broadband access and areas and connecting education to careers are ways to help address that workforce gap. we need to ensure that a degree is not just a destination but a pathway to jobs. that means providing students with better information earlier with guidance of a can make -- one way we are doing this is through a pilot program called career launch. includes a number of school districts, which are pooling resources to provide more career counseling and give students a more hands-on experience.
