Preparing Students and Staff to Meet Job Search Goals!
Enrollments at community colleges are at an all time high.
Over the next decade enrollment is expected to increase 14-percent, of which 80-percent will be minorities. Most administrations would applaud enrollment increases but not in this day and age -- WHY? Because 43 states are facing substantial revenue crises and most others are slashing their budgets.
Uncertain economic times have created a sluggish national economy,leaving many states reeling.
Data compiled by the National Conference of State Legislatures shows these states are operating in the red - as much as $85-billion. Though most set aside tax revenue for higher education, less money will be available for educational services.
