Dustin Lynch is the official spokesperson for CMT's Empowering Education initiative. 

Dustin Lynch and CMT have teamed up to encourage American's to go back to school. It was brought to their attention that over 4 million jobs remain unfilled in the US because of a lack in skilled applicants, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

CMT Empowering Education highlights the important role community colleges play in providing affordable, relevant education in sections of the country where a solid workforce is needed, specifically in economically depressed rural areas.
