A recent CCRC webinar explored how community colleges can meet the growing workforce demands of evolving advanced infrastructure, energy, and agriculture industries. A recording of the webinar is available in this blog post.
A new CCRC report examines data on what degrees and certificates community colleges nationally are awarding and which of those programs are more likely to enable students to secure good jobs directly or transfer efficiently to a bachelor’s degree program in students’ major fields of interest.
CCRC's latest data tool shows community college awards by field alongside associated earnings and awardee demographics at national, state, and institutional levels. This dashboard can help community colleges and state systems consider which of their programs put students on paths to post-completion success.
To help community colleges retool their workforce programs to adapt to changes in the energy sector, it’s important to understand what colleges are already doing. CCRC researchers spoke with Allison Moe, a research project manager at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, about connecting with community and technical colleges and the potential impacts of a new CCRC study.
In five sessions at DREAM, CCRC researchers and partners explained how they are working with colleges, state systems, and other organizations on the next generation of student success research.
