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. Gov. Dan McKee is pushing for a program to give adults a boost toward enrolling in college, completing college or earning technical training. McKee said, “We must meet Rhode Islanders where they are and help give them the personalized, hands-on help they need to earn their credentials from our colleges and universities. The academy will help our state get more people back into the workforce in jobs that will not only earn them living wages but put them at the ground floor of careers.”
