Abstract:
This case study (Working Paper #2) examines the "role of community colleges in providing adult education services (ABE, ESL, and GED) in Massachusetts". The "emphasis [in Massachusetts] on maintaining a diverse provider base" allows for an assessment of "links and transitions from adult education to postsecondary education in community colleges".
