Corridors of College Success

June 2013–December 2016

This project examined, documented, and assessed place-based collaborations facilitating pathways for postsecondary education and workforce preparedness for immigrants, veterans, and formerly incarcerated individuals. CCRC worked with five communities (South Texas, Denver, Los Angeles, Roxbury, and the South Bronx) to develop evidence-based strategies to improve their pathways. This research generated lessons for the field that can be used to improve interinstitutional transition pathways and postsecondary-focused collective impact initiatives around the country.

This project was funded by the Ford Foundation.
