CWP and OPP Team-up to Find Answers
A high school dropout in Connecticut will contribute $512-thousand less to the economy over their lifetime than their counterparts with a diploma, according to a new study commissioned by Our Piece of the Pie and Capital Workforce Partners (CWP) with additional support from the Nellie Mae Education Foundation and  the Connecticut Office of Workforce Competitiveness. Andrew Sum, Director of the Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University, conducted the research. He presented his findings at the Governor's Dropout Prevention Summit on October 19 and at OPP on November 10. (Listen to a radio interview about the study.)
