Utah's Economic Mobility Initiative creates a new state program directing the Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity to select a qualified nonprofit or government entity — called a technical assistance provider — to help struggling communities build local partnerships aimed at improving education and economic outcomes from early childhood through workforce entry. Eligible communities include rural areas with sparse populations, schools with graduation rates at or below 85%, and areas where key indicators like reading proficiency, employment, or household income fall significantly below state averages or show large gaps between demographic groups. These local partnerships must bring together schools, local governments, community organizations, businesses, and residents to develop written action plans with measurable goals, and multiple state agencies — including the Departments of Health and Human Services, Workforce Services, and the State Board of Education — are required to share relevant data to support those efforts.
