The 40.4 million adults with some college, no credential (SCNC) present a massive opportunity–and moral imperative–to connect nontraditional and adult learners with educational programs that equip them with relevant skills and credentials. Hear how institutions across the country and states like New Jersey are taking an innovative approach to engage and support this population, making it possible for thousands of adults to go back to school and get the skills they need to thrive in the modern economy.
