Abstract	Kentucky ranks 35th in the nation in the educational attainment level of its workforce. Furthermore, at 56.3%, Kentucky has one of the lowest workforce participation rates in the nation. This depresses economic development, limits knowledge-economy job creation, curbs social and economic mobility and reduces enthusiasm for credential attainment beyond high school. To increase prosperity and well-being for our state and its people, the Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) and Kentucky's postsecondary community are resolved to increase postsecondary opportunities for undereducated adults in both the short and long term. Adult learners often face barriers to earning their degree or credentials such as full-time employment, parenthood, poor health and housing and food insecurity. The strategies presented in this report will help lower these barriers. The plan's strategies fall under three main headings: accessibility, institutional change and partnerships. They are further categorized as occurring now (in progress or within six months), next (to be undertaken over the next 12-18 months) and later (action steps needing further collaboration and refinement, occurring in the next two to three years). The report concludes with data analyses to determine a priority population for future action. (ERIC).
