The Oakland 80 initiative works with community partners to help achieve our county's goal for 80% of Oakland County working-age adults to have a post-secondary degree or credential by the year 2030. Oakland80 aims to create more economic stability and career opportunities for residents leading to higher wages and a more secure future. It also helps Oakland County employers by building a more skilled and talented workforce.
