"Voices In America" for Public Television with Host James Earl Jones to Feature Work/Study Programs

    POMPANO BEACH, FL, February 07, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- "Voices in America," a program hosted by iconic actor, James Earl Jones (Star Wars, Conan the Barbarian), will tackle the spiraling cost of higher education in this segment by exploring an increasingly popular option available to students: work/study programs. Work/study programs offer students a unique opportunity to gain valuable experience while they are attending the school of their choice. Available in nearly every university and community college across the nation, work/study programs provide students with a method of earning a small salary in a location that is close to their studies. In addition, because these students are employed at their institutions of higher learning, their supervisors are able to offer them the flexible hours they need to be successful.

The ViA team speaks with college personnel, students and parents to gain the perspective of those people who have direct experience with work/study programs. Hear the advantages that can be afforded by such programs, as well as some cautions that should be kept in mind.

Produced independently and not affiliated with either APT or PBS, "Voices in America" explores timely subjects that are of importance to the American people.
