Community Colleges: Stacking Credentials as a Bridge to Higher Education

September 25, 2023

Community colleges traditionally were created to address the population of learners who pursued two-year degree programs, which often led to transferring into a four-year university degree. However, as global skills gaps have increased, the need to shift from a traditional student demographic and outcome, to one that meets the needs of lifelong learners seeking to re-skill or upskill to stay relevant, has become critical.

How Connecting Degrees to Careers Can Address the Decline in Degree Value

October 12, 2022
