McNamara" To: Subject: Economy in the 21st Century X-Mailer: MUSIC/SP V3.1.1 Content-Type: text Content-Length: 707 Status: RO After a morning spent attending meetings discussing national skill stan- dards, I returned to my office to find e-mail announcing the internet conference on Economy in the 21st Century. I hope you are involving the community colleges in your dialogue. At NVCC the average age of our learner is 28. We know the needs of our communities, and we work with businesses in training partnerships. National skill standards will be essential in lifelong learning and maintaining work productivity.
