Every year, communities across the country send out the brightest and their future hopes. NJ MED, wants to challenge them as they prepare for the US Workforce

CAMDEN, NEW JERSEY, USA, February 29, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- NJ MED knows the difficult transition to adulthood for today’s US teens. And with communities investing over a hundred thousands of dollars per students from kindergarten through high school, the reward of receiving a diploma, has less value than ever before. Never in the history in America, a superior Return On Investment is needed to support the country in the 21st century Global Economy.

Currently The U.S. economy is the largest in the world in terms of nominal GDP. Yet, the U.S. Education system ranks, between 14th to 17th globally. If more high school graduating students do not choose to advance in higher education, the US is threatened, by losing over hundred thousands of higher skilled jobs each year overseas, or forcing US companies to outsource the work to other countries.

Albert Mitchell II, the founder and CEO of NJ MED added, “What makes America strong, is the willingness to accept challenges. The cost to attend college is back breaking, with a U.S. $1.2 Trillion in student loan debt. Yet, more and more students are graduating high schools, with the decision should I go or not. That should be an easy answer; to where do you want to be. Organizations like America’s Promise are out there to help. National Graduation Week, is part of a movement to share that information on HOW.”

The National Graduation Week key purpose is:
• To recognize high schools and community organizations for preparing and graduating students on time
• To thank parents, teachers, and school staff for helping students accomplish their educational goal
• To encourage more students to enroll in higher education and show them how in the most affordable way

Two hundred high schools across the country are scheduled to participate in this year’s event. Social media campaigns using schools, community organizations, and students Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest and other platforms will help promote their Class of 2016 high school graduation ceremonies.

National organizations that specialize in college preparation, scholarships, grants and other funding programs will also provide high school underclassmen and seniors that are not yet enrolled for college next year, with vital information as part of the National Graduation Week event.

High schools interested in joining this year’s National Graduation Week, can register on the event website http://usstudentpledge.org/graduation-week, or with participating America’s Promise alliance partners in their communities.
