In this podcast, WestEd's Jenna Terrell and CCRC's Maria Cormier discuss how the community colleges they are studying as part of the ARCC Network are developing programs and supports to serve their workforce students as they emerge from the COVID pandemic.
In April, CCRC hosted an all-day meeting in Louisville, KY focused on understanding the ways community colleges can contribute to the green energy transition with the goal of developing a research agenda around community colleges and climate change.
In a podcast interview, researchers from three ARCC projects recently sat down to talk about what they have learned about students’ support needs during and after the pandemic and how colleges are addressing them. Listen to the audio interview and read the transcript featured within this blog post.
Jim Jacobs, CCRC’s former associate director and member of the CCRC Advisory Board, has contributed to several CCRC projects on workforce education, bringing expertise he developed working on industrial development and adult education programs at Macomb Community College. As Jacobs enters retirement, CCRC reflects on his career and contributions to the field.
This interview delves into the evolving relationship between the federal government and postsecondary education throughout American history, as well as what community colleges can do to influence policy to their benefit.
