At a proclamation signing ceremony earlier this year, Governor Little highlighted the remarkable success of LAUNCH in its first year. The program has seen a 9% increase in enrollment across all institutions, with an impressive 25% increase in enrollment in Magic Valley alone. Community college enrollment has surged by 18%, while there has been a 15% increase in the number of career technical students. Additionally, there has been a 15% increase in the number of economically disadvantaged students pursuing higher education, an 8% increase in dual credit enrollment, and a 16% increase in Hispanic students pursuing higher education. Most notably, there has been a staggering 19% increase in students with less than a 2.7 GPA going on to pursue rewarding and in-demand professions.
President Trump himself issued a similar proclamation earlier this year, reaffirming his commitment to investing in the best training and retraining opportunities for American workers. "We believe in excellence by putting America first," President Trump stated. "Investing in our workforce will result in a stronger economy for all."
