The Knowledge Connection: The Role of Colleges & Universities in Workforce Development

Today's economy calls for "knowledge workers" who can problem-solve and use technology to respond quickly to change. With examples drawn from some 100 UCEA member institutions in the 50 states, The Knowledge Connection provides an excellent overview on how continuing higher education is helping to meet the knowledge needs of the economy. The only publication of its kind, it focuses on programs that prepare individuals to enter the university by obtaining high school diplomas or equivalence; programs that break the cycle of welfare dependency and/or joblessness through education; certificate and degree programs that meet growing occupational and professional certification requirements; programs that help military personnel and defense industries to transition to the civilian economy; programs to prepare individuals to function transnationally in a global economy; and programs that help new entrepreneurs and small businesses to succeed. A handy reference on continuing education programs nationwide, it is of interest to campus administrators, business leaders, and policy makers.
