Forty by 30 Initiative

The Pontiac Collective Impact Partnership is proud to launch the Forty by 30 Initiative—a bold community-driven effort to ensure that 40% of Pontiac residents aged 16–24 attain a college degree or career-ready credential by 2030.

Why Forty by 30? Because education and training are key to unlocking opportunity. Whether it’s a two-year degree, a skilled trade certification, or another high-value credential, Forty by 30 empowers young people in Pontiac to build pathways to strong careers, financial stability, and lifelong success.

We’re bringing together schools, employers, community leaders, and families to make this vision a reality—because when Pontiac’s youth rise, the whole city rises with them.

Join us in building a brighter future. Learn more, get involved, and help us reach Forty by 30.
