On July 15, President Obama announced a major new federal investment in job training and community colleges. He appropriately made the announcement in Michigan, a state with 14% unemployment. Obama's plan consists of a $12 billion investment in community colleges. Part of the funds will help build and renovate buildings, part will expand on line courses and part will provide challenge grants for programs to expand "student success" and maximize the numbers of students who will graduate.
Many federal job training programs are not effective but community colleges tend to be worth the investment. Glad to see the attention.
