Global Development of Community Colleges, Technical Colleges, and - Further Education Program

Informationen zum Autor Edited by Paul A. Elsner; George R. Boggs and Judith T. Irwin Klappentext We live and thrive in a global society and economy where education and training is essential to a nation's competitiveness and to the standard of living of its people. Opening the doors of higher or further education beyond the enrollments in elite or select universities has become a greater necessity. This has spawned a movement to develop or expand institutions that are more affordable, accessible, flexible, and tied to business and industry. Take a look at the systems that have been developed in 20 countries worldwide that were designed to meet these needs. Historical development of each system, as well as the strategies for addressing national mandates for preparing a workforce for the global economy, are described throughout each chapter.
