President Biden has laid out his vision for the future of public education, which includes a nationwide community college tuition waiver for all Americans who want to take advantage.
That waiver would be especially impactful in states with the lowest levels of higher education attainment, including several in the Mountain West. In Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming and New Mexico, fewer than 30% of adults over 25 have a bachelor s degree.
Central Wyoming College s president, Brad Tyndall, said Wyoming s low percentage is partly due to its history of high-paying jobs in the energy sector. In Wyoming we have the highest number of people who have made it to the middle class and above without a college education. Why? Oil and gas. You don t need a degree to work many jobs in those industries, Tyndall said. And now, the economy is shifting and we re in trouble. We need some major GI Bill kind of initiative to get adult learners through.

About 20 students from the University of Wyoming and several of the state’s community colleges will gain hands-on training in software development starting later this month.
The two-week intensive experience will be used to pilot an innovative program in software development through a partnership involving Cardiff University in Wales, United Kingdom; UW; Wyoming community colleges; and industry partners in the state. The online program will help UW and the community colleges accomplish their objective of preparing Wyoming residents to participate in the 21st century workforce and diversify the state’s economy.
The initial pilot cohort of students will be selected by faculty members at UW and Wyoming community colleges. Starting March 27, they’ll work on a short software development project with industry partner Trihydro Corp., an environmental engineering consulting firm based in Laramie.
