The Value of College report, conducted last year by MONEY and Barnes & Noble College, revealed that 90 percent of students considered the role of “preparing for a fulfilling career” as a valuable benefit of a college education. That gap between high expectations and the hard reality of a student unprepared for the world of work has spurred the development of both institutional programs and public policies to increase college readiness and create a more highly skilled and qualified competitive workforce.
