(2) A well-educated and highly trained workforce provides businesses in the Commonwealth with the competitive edge critical for their success; and

(3) Too many adult Kentuckians are not full participants in the labor pool because they lack a high school diploma, its equivalent, or the workplace knowledge necessary to assure self-sufficiency for themselves and their families.
