Today’s students are more diverse—in age, race, and income level—than any previous generation of college students, and they seek a system of higher learning where postsecondary providers deliver skills and knowledge that lead to employment or further education. We believe the ACCESS to Careers Act will better support the success of today’s students by connecting their learning to work.
