As part of an applied research agenda to build knowledge and tools to support community colleges in preparing students for high-value jobs in the green economy, CCRC is partnering with the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, to conduct a one-year landscape study of green training programs at U.S. community colleges.
To better understand the role that community colleges play in training healthcare workers, CCRC analyzed data from the U.S. Department of Education’s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) to describe the availability of health-related programs—including nursing, allied health, and public health—and the number and characteristics of students who completed credentials in those programs. Maria Cormier breaks down what the data suggests about community college healthcare programs.
In this blog post, CCRC's Maria Cormier describes a new project aimed at facilitating and improving colleges' efforts to better align their credit and noncredit offerings.
