Area Career and Technical Colleges Head to Head with Community Colleges?

The Career College Association (CCA) is essentially the trade association for for-profit technical institutions. It has more than a thousand members and described itself as "The Career College Association is a voluntary membership organization of accredited, private, postsecondary schools, institutes, colleges and universities that provide career-specific educational programs." Its new white paper: Higher Education and a Competitive Workforce is "must" reading for those who would understand where these for-profit institutions positioning themselves in what seems like a directly competitive battle with community colleges:
Three in four respondents in the CCA survey acknowledge that some young people might benefit more from alternatives to a four-year college or university. When asked to consider options beyond traditional four-year colleges and universities, 45 percent of respondents said career and technical training colleges do the best job of equipping Americans to compete in the global economy.
