Get A L.I.F.E.- Learning Is For Earning Program Get a LIFE, Learning Is For Earning was developed from the ground up by the Asheboro/Randolph Chamber of Commerce Business & Education Committee. Our goal is to present a clear message to students and parents concerning the importance and value of education. As you well know, the requirements of today’s workplace are significantly different than those the citizens of Randolph County are historically accustomed to. If our community is to continue to grow and develop, we must improve the quality of our local workforce. Get a LIFE is designed to do just that by lowering the dropout rate and connecting local students to local careers. The program demonstrates the financial relevance of a good education, and describes what kind of life students can expect with a quality education as well as without it. Student L.I.F.T.
