  • Further Education in the United States of America
    FURTHER EDUCATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 1. Overview There is no national education system present in the United States. Due to the federal nature of the government, the local and state governments perhaps have a greater deal of control over education. As a result, there is no country-level education system or curriculum. The federal government does not operate public schools. Each state has its own Department of Education. In terms of funding, public schools receive funding from the individual state, and also from local property taxes. Public colleges and universities receive funding from the state in which they reside. Each state's legislative body decides how much funding will be given educational providers within that particular state. Students aged 1-18 do not pay tuition fees, this ends if the student wishes to go to a college or a university where students do pay tuition fees. However, some students receive some sort of funding, either through a scholarship or through a loan. In the United States, education is compulsory for all students until ages sixteen to eighteen depending on the individual state. Most high school students graduate at the age of seventeen or eighteen-years-old. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that 58% of high school graduates enrolled in colleges or universities in 2006. Students have the option of attending a two- year community college (also known as a junior college) before applying to a four-year university. Admission to community college is easier, and class sizes are often smaller than in a university. Community college students can earn an Associate's degree and transfer up to two years of course credits to a university.

  • History of Adult and Continuing Education
    History of Adult and Continuing Education The Adult and Continuing Education function has been central to the mission of the college since its founding in 1966. Originally it was one of three major college focal points along with vocational-technical education and student services. The department’s mission is consistent with several of the directives in SF550, the law that created the community college system in Iowa in 1966: Programs for in-service training and retraining of workers; Developmental education for persons academically or personally underprepared to succeed in their program of study; Programs for training, retraining, and preparation for productive employment of all citizens; and Programs for high school completion for students of post-high school age. The 1968 North Central Association Self Study prepared constructive notes as a first step toward regional accreditation on these major functions of the department: Adult and Continuing Education provided educational programs in four areas: adult basic education, adult high school diploma programs, high school equivalency programs, and general adult education. Adult basic education programs developed throughout the area provided instruction to adults with less than an eighth grade education. Adult high school diploma programs provided instruction to adults with a 10th grade education but less than a high school education. Students enrolled in these programs were working toward the completion of a high school program and the receipt of a diploma from an established secondary school within the area. High school equivalency programs provided instruction to students who had completed at least eighth grade, and by completing additional course work, could be granted a high school equivalency certificate by the Iowa State Department of Public Instruction.

  • Unemployment Compensation (UC): Eligibility for Students Under State and Federal Laws
    Unemployment Compensation (UC): Eligibility for Students Under State and Federal Laws Julie M. Whittaker Specialist in Income Security Alan Eder PMF Intern September 7, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R42707 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress UC Eligibility for Students Under State and Federal Laws Summary The recent economic recession and subsequent recovery period has produced one of the most challenging labor markets in recent decades. Many workers lost their jobs during this time period, as others were just entering the market for the first time. As a strategy to cope with the difficult employment situation, many individuals entered school to acquire skills to become more competitive, while others never left, remaining in school to postpone the employment search. However, due to the prolonged nature of the recovery, many students and workers remain jobless and struggle to find work. According to Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data, in July 2012, approximately 12.8 million workers remained jobless, of which almost 2.1 million individuals aged 20 to 24 were unemployed. Those that have gone back to school, and have now graduated, still face a competitive job market, and may need to search for work for a prolonged period of time. According to BLS data, in June 2012, there were approximately 3.4 unemployed workers for every available job, and almost 40% of the unemployed have been jobless for more than six months. Because of this economic climate, Congress has been interested in not only job creation and how students are coping with the competitive job market, but whether they are receiving income support during times of unemployment in order to cope.

  • Government Employment and Training Programs: Assessing the Evidence on Their Performance
    Government Employment and Training Programs: Assessing the Evidence on their Performance The Council of Economic Advisers June 2019 September 29, 2017 Executive Summary June 2019 For the first time since the Government began tracking job openings nearly 20 years ago, there are more job openings in the United States than unemployed people looking for work. In fact, there are over 1.6 million more job openings than unemployed people. Because of the Trump Administration’s pro-growth policies, the American worker is in great demand. In a 2019 survey by the National Federation of Independent Businesses, a quarter of small businesses reported that their single most important problem is finding workers with the skillset employers need. In an effort to address this issue, the Trump Administration is striving to connect job seekers with the resources and tools necessary to find employment. This includes ensuring that those seeking employment have the skills and training necessary to fill available jobs. In an effort to satisfy employer needs, the Trump Administration has launched initiatives like the Pledge to America’s Workers. In less than a year since introducing the Pledge, companies and trade groups have committed to provide almost 10 million Americans with education and training opportunities over the next five years and close the skills gap that currently exists in the American labor market. In accordance with the Executive Order Establishing the President’s National Council for the American Worker, the Council of Economic Advisers has prepared this report examining the evidence available on the effectiveness of government employment and training programs.
