McKee proposes a new program to help adults earn higher education credentials, here's how - Linda Borg, The Providence Journal

Rhode Island has a college attainment problem: only 53% of adults have some higher-education experience.  In Central Falls, just over one-third of residents have a high-school diploma, and only 13% have an associate’s degree or higher.  That’s why Gov. Dan McKee is pushing for a program to give adults a boost toward enrolling in college, completing college or earning technical training. The goal? To offer higher-paying jobs, especially those in fast-growing fields in Rhode Island.  The Higher Education Academy was the brainchild of Shannon Gilkey, the state’s new Commissioner of Post-Secondary Education.
