U.S. higher education spending makes horrible return on investment

by Desiree Schnoor

It’s no question that apprenticeships and extended on the job training programs are effective in producing employees who are trained and ready to start working using the skills they’ve acquired. But how much do they cost? How long do they take? How many trainers do we need? Is there a better, faster and more cost-effective way to get employees working on the tasks you need, now?
​
Only 1 out of every 3 Americans has a college degree, yet we spend $180 billion dollars on higher education. That’s a terrible return on investment. Is the answer spending more money? Sadly, more money and time is lost when those who have degrees leave their jobs to get more or different training? There must be a better way to get more people the training they need to get working sooner.
