Breakthroughs, a new JFF newsletter
Jobs for the Future has just begun publication of a newsletter, Breakthroughs, to support the Breaking Through initiative. This initiative is a national effort, funded by a variety of foundations, to help low-skilled adults to acquire the skills they need to succeed in college and the jobs their courses prepare them for. The newsletter provides information about the participating community colleges and their partners' efforts in creating more effective way for low-skilled adults to gain the necessary occupational and technical skills. It provides some interesting insights into the challenges of the work, as well as resources that can be helpful. Piedmont VA Community College is participating in the Breaking Through initiative.
