Economic Mobility Journey

Graduates make strong progress on their economic mobility journeys

We want to see our graduates in jobs that provide stable, living wage incomes, and we see strong progress from different starting points. Here is the global accumulated data for high income countries.

Financial Impact

Our graduates are earning salaries they use to make ends meet and for education, housing, healthcare, and more

Economic mobility is our impact goal. Reaching this goal means advancing outcomes related to breadth, depth, and durability of impact. Each of these pillars is equally important, and we work to move all three forward together.”
