Explanation of Solution

Suggested responses:

The debate over whether community colleges should train students for jobs or prepare them to transfer to a four-year college is not a new one. Keep in mind, on the one hand, community colleges serve as a place for students to gain a skill or vocation. They provide training necessary for entry into a field of service. On the other hand, community colleges prepare students to continue their education. They offer courses to prepare for university and guidance in aligning a student’s curriculum with that of the school where they wish to transfer.
