Detroit Drives Degrees is the Detroit Regional Chamber’s collective impact initiative that brings together stakeholders from business, philanthropy, government, and K-12 and higher education.
The rapidly evolving economy of the Detroit region requires strengthening the talent pipeline. Detroit Drives Degrees seeks to increase the proportion of individuals with college degrees and high-skill credentials in the region. With only 43% of adults having attained this level of education, Detroit Drives Degrees’ primary goal is to increase the postsecondary attainment rate to 60% by 2030 and cut the racial equity gap in half.
