- Abstract
Community colleges play a critical role in offering adult education programs, and have historically been instrumental in offering GED and other high school equivalency programs. The current study was designed to explore the changing nature of community college adult education from the perspective of state leaders. Using the population of state community college directors, a survey revealed that GED programs are not a major political agenda item and that they had only moderate optimism regarding adults returning to community colleges and training. Further, they perceive little alignment between high school equivalency programs, their own offerings, and job readiness programs.
