Success stories in bringing adults back to college

Bridges to Opportunity for Underprepared Adults looks at different approaches to improving the effectiveness of community colleges -- at both the campus and system level -- in serving returning adults who need a range of basic skills education, remedial instruction and "college coursework in academic subjects and in career fields." The focus is on helping adults return to post-secondary education to increase their employability in "middle skill jobs." The report includes case studies from Ohio, Louisiana and Washington.
