New Directions for Community Colleges, n116 p5-20 Win 2001
Presents the results of a national study examining effectiveness of employment- and education-focused welfare-to-work programs. Considers the implications for community colleges, particularly training for quick employment versus stable jobs that pay a living wage. Concludes that, compared with other institutions, community colleges have the most potential for setting welfare recipients on a path toward economic success. (Contains 14 references.) (AUTH/NB)
