OUR GOALS
UFCS strives to support 50,000 underserved Texas learners in earning a meaningful credential by 2030
A meaningful credential is defined as a qualification that holds value in the labor market, allows a person the ability to earn a family wage, and is aligned with their aspirations and future growth. To reach this goal, UFCS will build upon each output strategy to deepen support impact. Through these support structures, learners will be able to self-advocate, amplify their resource usage, meaningfully network with peers and professionals, lessen the impact of life stressors, and make informed choices to obtain a timely and meaningful credential.
