Conclusions The JIT concept integrates the subject boundaries of math, physics, technology, technical English, and engineering economics. At the end of each node or subnode, the change in student knowledge, skills, and attitudes can be tested. The JIT nodes become prerequisites for subsequent nodes. Alternative examples and comprehensive tests will be utilized to place students appropriately within the CC, and will verify that placement.

A seamless sequence is projected utilizing objectives from the eleventh-grade experience through the college Associates Degree level. This seamless approach can be extended in either direction, leading to effective and efficient upward mobility, including the rapid recovery of persons out-of-work.

The JIT approach stresses nation-wide application utilizing measurable evaluation, and curricula flexibility. JIT Education integrates Total Quality Management with outcomes integrated via self-paced instruction. The JIT educational material is offered on time and on demand to students. Funds are being solicited from educational institutions, government agencies, and corporate and national foundations to further develop the JIT model. Just- In-Time education is vital to the future of the United States workforce and the associated economy. It is a student- based learning approach that is long overdue.
