Tim Kaine reviews strategies for lowering post-college costs - Augusta Free Press

During a Senate Budget Committee hearing today, U.S. Senator Tim Kaine highlighted the harmful impact of high college costs and student loan debt on borrowers and the entire U.S. economy. Kaine, co-founder of the Senate Career and Technical Education (CTE) Caucus and a longtime supporter of expanding CTE programs, discussed the importance of presenting the option of earning licenses and certificates in high-demand career fields to students as an alternative to more expensive four-year college degrees. He also called for better information-sharing about 2+2 programs, dual enrollment, and other strategies to reduce the costs of higher education. http://augustafreepress.com/tim-kaine-reviews-strategies-lowering-post-college-costs/
