We discuss whether working class students are served well by a higher ed curriculum that eschews vocational training.

Recently, Albert Fu (Kutztown) pushed back on those who oppose fielding curricula with vocational focuses.

I teach at a school that serves working class students, and this view struck a chord with me. I assembled a panel of faculty teaching at colleges who teach at colleges that serve the working class to discuss the role of vocational training in higher ed.
