Is Education the Answer ? In today’s global, knowledge-driven economy, a world-class education system is clearly necessary for competitive success It is not sufficient A college degree is no guarantee of a good, secure job David Finegold, Dean, Rutgers’ School of Management and Labor Relations

Community Colleges Play Central Economic Role in the Changing Economy “And I think that it is crucially important for us to reduce the income inequality in this county. And I the way that one has to do that, by any means that I can see, is through education. And I must say to you, the community colleges in this country have been in the forefront of a major change in the quality of what we are doing with respect to re-establishing skills.” Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan, Feb, 2004

U.S. Post-secondary Students More than 70% of all post-secondary students are non-traditional. National Chamber of Commerce Non-traditional –Over the age of 23 –Independent of parental financial support –Seeking additional training to enter workforce
