"The complexity, variety, and importance of postsecondary credentials have grown substantially, especially since the 1980s, because the ties between postsecondary institutions and the world of work have grown in the knowledge economy.  Access to postsecondary education has become the ante for individual career success and the modal requirement for a globally competitive national workforce.  As a result, it is not surprising that the economic functions of postsecondary institutions are becoming more comprehensive.  These forces are giving rise to the comprehensive university and the comprehensive community college:  As higher education evolves, it increasingly emphasizes the utilitarian economic value of credentialed and noncredentialed knowledge and skill." -Excerpted from Help Wanted… Credentials Required, Anthony P. Carnevale and Donna M. Desrochers, 2001.
