Paducah, KY – Experienced workers wanting to learn new skills have given West Kentucky Community & Technical College a population boost this fall. The freshman class is estimated to have grown nearly 15 percent, with a 20 percent increase in students over 30 years old. According to the Paducah Sun, the community college has implemented a number of ways to facilitate more students on its campus. They've installed a laptop-and-wireless system, added lecturers, course sections, and longer Friday classes to increase student access to instructors.
