The future is a knowledge economy and a skills economy. When we think about talent in @MiamiDadeCounty, our goal is clear: by 2040, 65% of Miami-Dade County adults will have at least an associate degree or quality career credential. Together we are ensuring that education is the pathway to prosperity and our community's economic growth. @opportunitymia @beaconcouncil @rodrickmiller
