Reach For Youth incorporated "Learning and Earning in the 21st Century" into their R.E.A.C.H. Program and this is what they said:
What Matters: In a world that is transitioning out of a global pandemic, and with the realities of interdependent global economies, the 21st century requires preparation and acquisition of skills that did not exist as little as a decade ago. Skills and knowledge are important assets to success, yet the foundation on which success rests is on essential social and emotional attributes. The ability to understand the perspectives of others, the ability to respect and tolerate cultural norms and differences, and the ability to manage emotional stressors often determines upward mobility. Relationships matter, and relationships shape our condition and readiness for change. Learning & Earning in the 21st Century is packed with strategies that improves self understanding and connects it to current and future earning power.
What is Essential: Information to help youth and adults increase their knowledge and skills for success is essential for current learning power. In fact, diligence to persevere in the face of challenge is essential for having the will to succeed.

Skill, Will, and Self- Regulation: are the keys to growth and success - personally and economically. Many students have the academic prowess to succeed – yet may not demonstrate their true ability. We know from the results we have seen with our own clients – that all students, regardless of economic status, neighborhood, or school district – need the skills taught in “Learning and Earning in the 21st Century”. Whether students attend public schools, charter schools or private schools, all students will benefit from this information.
