    Dive Brief:
    • A new report from the College Savings Foundation (CSF) finds that 81% of high school students in its survey seek skills training, and an increasing number are considering technical schools and community colleges.
    • The survey showed the number of students intending to go to community college increased 9% from 2015 to 2018. About 53% plan to attend a traditional four-year college and 36% a community college or vocational school, the report said.
    • It also noted that the cost of college is important in decision making. About 65% of those surveyed said that expense affected whether they attend college at all, and 52% said that costs mattered in deciding on whether to attend college part time or full time.
