Abstract

The article discusses about the Dual Enrollment programs, which connects high school students to employment opportunities while offering them the chance to take college courses during high school. Topics include a program called Pathways in Technology; the need for a national level investment to help it spread wide, and the "skills gap" i.e. the gulf between available jobs that require certain skills and the people who have the education necessary to fill those jobs.
