The post-secondary enrollment data, provided by North State Together's partnership with National Student Clearinghouse, confirms what we intuitively already know.

North State Together Joins
American Connection Project Policy Coalition
|
|
In the Federal Communications Commission 2019 Broadband Deployment Project, it was reported that 26% of rural households nationwide still lack access to fixed broadband. When the pandemic began, the problem was exacerbated as the demand for bandwidth increased by nearly 25% in the first three weeks.
The North State Together team strives to be at the forefront of initiatives and policies that work toward reliable and affordable broadband for all our communities in our region. Earlier this month, North State Together joined forces with the American Connection Project Policy Coalition to leverage the collective power of over 150 organizations to bring high-speed internet access to all U.S. households with a focus on those in rural areas. Connectivity is not a luxury but a necessity to increase cradle to career outcomes for all in the North State. Our North State Together broadband lead will meet weekly with the broader coalition to provide input,

Introducing The Regionizer
|
|
North State Together understands the unique assets and qualities that our region holds. It is important to look at our local data rather than the state aggregate that is most often provided.
The Regionizer allows you build out a region with multiple counties. The resulting data focus on key aspects of commuting patterns, demographics, and clusters of industries and occupations. It’s a tool that allows you to think about regions in different ways because it is so easy to just click and drag–and let the machine do the calculations. And it’s a great way to compare and contrast counties in the North State. How different are they? Which county is a jobs engine and which one is a residential draw? These and lots more questions can be easily answered. A bonus: You can save the data either in Word or Excel formats.

Connecting eligible children and their families to the appropriate continuum of wraparound services can be accomplished through place-based networks of stakeholders that (1) are in the best position to identify the highest needs within the local communities, and (2) have the capacity and relationships within the community to align, coordinate, leverage, and enhance services provided by state and local government, community-based organizations (CBOs), non-profits, businesses, and other entities active in the community.
At present, there is no statewide entity responsible for the alignment, coordination and leveraging of Cradle to Career services. There are, however, voluntarily-created local networks that have been performing this role with considerable success including North State Together and our five Cradle to Career county networks. Our networks as well as other networks across the state exist in about a dozen counties and local communities, and are funded through a combination of philanthropic grants, federal funds, and local governments.
The expansion of these proven and successful networks through a competitive grant program under AB 932 is a low-cost way to ensure that children receive coordinated and effective services from cradle to career.
