A center devoted to helping government and business officials develop a stronger workforce has released a study examining successful strategies for community colleges trying to prepare students for high-wage, high-demand jobs. Papers presented at a symposium and released last month by the National Safety Council found that “graduated” driver's-license programs reduce crash rates for teenage drivers by as much as 33 percent.
