Community colleges, which are located in or near virtually every community across our nation, provide pathways to careers through workforce education and training aligned to in-demand sectors, and they serve as the primary hub for workforce and economic development in many communities. In addition to providing high-quality occupational certificates and credentials, associate’s and, in some cases, bachelor’s degrees, community colleges are leaders in delivering dual or concurrent enrollment programs to high school students, with enrollment in such programs growing. Community colleges also participate as eligible training providers in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Title I workforce development system, and design and lead career and technical education programs. They are excellent and affordable springboards to a bachelor’s degree and beyond by preparing students to transfer to a four-year institution of higher education—or, increasingly, by offering bachelor’s degree programs of their own.
