Document Number: 6156 Breaking Through: Helping Low-skilled Adults Enter and Succeed in College and Careers - Traditional degree programs are not designed to reflect the realities of life for low-skilled working adults.

The report provides examples of promising state policies, and part II examines four synergistic, high-leverage strategies to increase access and success: (1) integrated institutional structures and services; (2) accelerated learning; (3) labor market payoffs; and (4) comprehensive supports.
