pell grants, title four, $25 billion in pell grants. had we make those pell grants more flexible so they do just what morgan says? how do we make sure we are targeting the workforce needs in providing that pell grant money? we need more flexibility to do that because not every job requires a baccalaureate degree. so again you bring that pell grant funding into the things i just talked about. you are talking about a lot of money, do exactly what you said, target the funding, and the training for the workforce needs. the job demand that businesses have. >> let me jump in here. >> shore. >> and john is right. i think a lot of this notion and experimentation is happening in the state around tax incentive investments and worker training. i think if we think about that in a broad-based, we are starting to say that does not mean that the delivery mechanism can still be community college but more often than that is going to be the business leadership that knows what the immediate needs are in the workforce. and, if we can simply try again to ha

however, george pell knows ultimately that he could face up knows ultimately that he could face up toion to the news of his conviction has shocked some here in australia, some who argue that they don't think he could be guilty of something so atrocious and appalling against two young boys. he still has his supporters here in australia. however, there are also those abuse survivors and campaigners who have wa nted survivors and campaigners who have wanted to see a high figure within the church brought to justice, and george pell certainly does represent that. hardly a more powerfulfigure within the catholic church has been accused, let alone convicted, of child sex abuse, and so he represents so much for people here in australia, and of course across the catholic world. also making news today: the british prime minister, theresa may, has shifted her position on the deadline for brexit, announcing a set of votes that could result in a delay to britain's departure from the european union. after recieving threats of resignations from her cabinet, mrs may told parliament that if she failed

we didn't take pell grants or anything else. if you want an education you can get one but you have to work for it and therefore you won't have huge bills when you graduate. plus the kids today aren't going in for anything that we really need for the country. we need engineers, we need accountants, they are going in for the arts which is an easy way to get through college. you are not going to get a job, what is the purpose in going? i think it is just a waste. i really believe in free education for trade schools because we need plumbers and we need electricians. we need air conditioning people, those are more important then a college education. when i worked i had people come into our business with a four year college at a drycleaners because they could not get a job anywhere after they got their degree so what a waste. >> thank you for the call. >> this concern over to these degrees lead to good jobs and what are people earning? i think that is out there more than it has been in a long time and i think what you're seeing now in

on the vatican calls the news painful australian cardinal george pell has been convicted on five counts of sexually assaulting children that makes him the vatican's former treasurer the highest ordering member of the catholic church to ever be found guilty of pedophilia hell says he is innocent or news of his conviction comes just after the pope's historic summit on child abuse in the church the timing is a stunning coincidence or as some believe divine providence. god will make. i do cardinal george pell was heckled as he left his latest court hearing in melbourne for now he's free but people outside the court were calling for a tough sentence. that catholics and did poorly a week amman that he be excommunicated from the kids george pell is amongst a of freak he has to be child not high in detention none of these thirty we just we want to seeming child we want to see him for all i help. a jury found that tells sexually assaulted two choir boys in a melbourne cathedral in one thousand nine hundred ninety six the unanimous verdict was handed down on december eleventh but due to a suppres

the pell grant is one accreditation. we need a different accreditation system to think about outcomes, not inputs. new partnerships. community colleges need to think about partnerships with a providers, whether they be online boot camps or whatever. no point in putting partnerships and if you cannot get the funding or credentials associated with it. new public-private partnerships. you have probably seen statistics. we have 100,000 apprenticeships a year. many of which are in the construction sector. most people think about germany when they think about apprenticeships. or canada and other countries that look a little more like us from a workforce point of view, we had the same number of apprenticeships. it is a vast source of opportunity. when you think about what people are giving up in order to come into training, these structures make more sense. a lot of constructive things happening in the public-private partnership. that is something through this counsel and associated work makes a lot of sense. data, another one
