- San Diego Consortium for Workforce Education and Lifelong
Learning Improving the
knowledge and skills of families and workers is one of
the most important challenges facing American education.
Economists note that even if school reform could be
rapidly accomplished, it would have minimal influence on
productivity, literacy, or quality of life in the work
place during the next 20 years because out-of-school
youth and adults are not subject to school reform, and
they will constitute the vast majority of the American
workforce until well into the next century. Please contact
