Who Needs College Anymore?

By Kathleen deLaski

A blueprint for a world in which a college degree is not the only way to unlock professional success

Most Americans would like to go to college, but we are making it harder and harder. 

Do we recognize that our words and actions are driving families away from earning a college degree? If that is acceptable, we must popularize new ways to prepare adults for the high wage professional workforce. 

The good news is that workers, employers, high schools are finding work-arounds. And these work-arounds could well become the new “new normal” for how America prepares for work.  How can colleges adapt to rethink college? This book provides the blueprint.
