In 2009, the State Board of Education and Colorado Commission of Higher Education adopted a description of “Postsecondary and Workforce Readiness” (PWR). Per statute, this description must be revisited every six years and both the Colorado State Board of Education and Colorado Commission on Higher Education need to approve any revisions.
