The state has achieved a record-high educational attainment level of 51 percent, up from 47 percent since 2021, and represents over 30,000 Louisianians who have earned degrees or credentials.
Higher Education Commissioner Kim Hunter Reed says goal is to hit 60 percent by 2030.
She said this progress shows ongoing efforts to expand access to higher education, improve workforce readiness, and create pathways for residents to gain valuable credentials.
Reed says the plan serves as a roadmap for building a more prosperous future for Louisiana’s workforce.
With six years remaining to reach its 2030 target, Reed says “Louisiana Prospers” is on track to make a significant impact, positioning the state’s residents to better compete in the modern job market and enhance their overall quality of life.
