Noncredit Enrollment in Workforce Education: State Policies and Community College PracticesBy: Michelle Van Noy, James Jacobs, Suzanne Korey, Thomas Bailey & Katherine L. Hughes — August 2008. Washington, DC: American Association of Community
Colleges and Community College Research Center. This report provides detailed findings on state policies and community college practice from Community College Research Center's (CCRC's) study of community college noncredit workforce education. Drawing on interviews with state policymakers in all 50 states and case studies of 20 community colleges in 10 states, the report offers recommendations for policy and practice. Noncredit workforce education can play an important role in responding to local labor market demands, while also connecting students to long-term educational opportunities and documenting outcomes in a meaningful way.
