Governor Patrick's 2012 State of the Commonwealth Address |
|
 BOSTON, MA — Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick gave his annual State of the Commonwealth address last night, in which he proposed sweeping changes to the community college system, centralizing authority for 15 campuses and emphasizing job training.
Patrick said "We have a skills gap. We can do something about that. We
can help people get back to work. And our community colleges should be
at the very center of it."
He reinforced an assessment made by a pair of reports released last
November that described the state's community college system as
disjointed and inadequate in its preparations of students for technical
careers.
