Matching Aptitude to Opportunity

The big picture:

Many working learners land in programs that don’t fit and stop out, sometimes multiple times.

Why it matters:

Aligning education with natural aptitudes boosts persistence, completion, and job readiness while filling talent gaps in tech, manufacturing, finance, engineering.

What’s needed:

• Measure aptitudes early
• Expand real-world exposure
• Connect programs to careers
• Honor prior learning
• Show clear personal ROI

Bottom line:

When learners see a path that fits who they are, they stick, finish, and thrive.
