A roadmap for how we can rebuild America's working class by transforming workforce education and training.

A roadmap for how we can rebuild America's working class by transforming workforce education and training.

The American dream promised that if you worked hard, you could move up, with well-paying working-class jobs providing a gateway to an ever-growing middle class. Today, however, we have increasing inequality, not economic convergence. Technological advances are putting quality jobs out of reach for workers who lack the proper skills and training. In Workforce Education, William Bonvillian and Sanjay Sarma offer a roadmap for rebuilding America's working class. They argue that we need to train more workers more quickly, and they describe innovative methods of workforce education that are being developed across the country.

Praise for Workforce Education

"Led by Sarma and Bonvillian, the Workforce Education Project is a research effort to study the workforce education landscape in the United States." MIT News

"Sarma argues that when it comes to technology, it's easier to think big than to make small, incremental changes. So as the first-ever director of digital learning at MIT he's aiming to change the culture of teaching by using technology to rethink the professor's role." --The Chronicle of Higher Education

"Among his many contributions to the MIT Washington Office, [Bonvillian] worked with faculty and researchers at the Institute on MIT's policy initiatives, establishing an important new model for providing lawmakers with cutting-edge and interdisciplinary perspectives from outside the Beltway." --MIT News
