CCC 2020-2025影响力倡议
开始营业
中央社区学院 has seen significant decreases in part-time adult enrollments in part due to a strong local economy and record high employment rates. 虽然积极的是员工有工作, we also know better paying jobs require advanced education/training and skills that could be obtained from CCC. To reach this population, CCC needs to be available when individuals have time for this education & 培训可能包括晚上, 周末, multiple start points and a mix of online and in person delivery throughout our service area.
成功教练计划
提供全日制和非全日制学位, 寻求获得文凭和证书的学生获得成功教练. We know this model works as evidenced by the success of Project HELP and TRIO. The goal is to increase retention, persistence and ultimately completion. With around 70% of our students being part-time their connection to a success coach is vital and may need to include support of all 教师, administrators and contract staff to serve in this capacity along with success coach specialists.
基于工作的学习/学徒制
With the growing competition for skilled workers the apprenticeship “earn while you learn” model provides students with another option to further their education while supporting themselves through employment. In addition to potentially reducing the reliance on student’s loans, work-based learning opportunities are a tool for recruitment to High Demand, 高技能或高工资(H3)职业. Using existing curriculum models and established employer connections, CCC could expand work-based learning/apprenticeships across multiple divisions and disciplines while strengthening support of employer partnerships, 奖学金, 入职和支持服务. The work-based programming aligns with current workforce initiatives promoted through our region, state and federally as a method to grow skilled talent which is a challenge facing the region, 国家和民族的未来十年.
