Communities throughout America have experienced dramatic demographic, economic, and technological changes over the past fifty years, and nearly everyone working in education and workforce development today feels the impact of these forces. In Brockton, for example, 25 percent of the population over the age of 25 has no high school diploma and 12 percent of families live below the poverty level. |
