Abstract	Community colleges have long taken pride in their ability to adjust to changing workforce needs. They adjust when local plumbers union requires a new certification. They also adjust when a biotechnology manufacturer seeks workers to staff its state-of-the-art research facility. But what happens when a new industry materializes almost overnight? With the explosion of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social media sites--Facebook alone now boasts more than 800 million users worldwide--more employers want workers who can skillfully navigate the social media universe. And community colleges are quickly becoming the place to turn. Demand for workers with specialized online skills prompts colleges to develop new workforce training programs. (ERIC).
