Happy 56th birthday to New Jersey's Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) program, which helps some 4,000 students @NJCommColleges every year with critical supports to help them succeed!
56 years ago on July 12, the bill creating the Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) was signed into law.
Since then, New Jersey's legacy wraparound program has grown to help generations of students realize opportunity through higher education.

Why do federal workforce programs fail? A must-read
@TheAtlantic piece by @kevincarey1.
Programs are designed with employers not employees in mind. Local workforce boards dominated by business
decide which jobs are “in-demand."
In-demand jobs aren’t necessarily good jobs.
1/ In @TheAtlantic I wrote about how Congress is poised to double down on one of the great policy failures of the last 30 years -- job training programs that don't work.

Our employer-led, federally-funded public workforce system fails to put people into good jobs. And that's by design. This piece by @kevincarey1 breaks down what's wrong w/ WIOA & what needs to change. @NewAmericaEd #wkdev @newamerica theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…
