This blog post shares takeaways from a working paper on how institutions and students responded to free-college messaging from Virginia's Get a Skill, Get a Job, Get Ahead (G3) initiative.
In this blog post, researchers from the Aspen Institute and CCRC share takeaways from their work with ten community colleges and introduce tools designed to help colleges increase the number of students on a path toward high-value programs.
