Overview

UpliftED is a cross-sector coalition of community leaders working to build a better-educated Central Florida workforce. By the year 2025, we want 60% of our workforce to hold a high-value credential or post-secondary degree. That’s a big increase from the 40% we have today. To hit that number, we’ve got partners in every sector — education, business, government, industry, and nonprofits — working together to help more Central Floridians find, fund, and finish high-quality higher education programs. By making higher education more accessible and affordable to people across Central Florida, UpliftED will lift lives for students, boost local businesses, and strengthen the economy of the region.
