I’m glad the Vice President JD Vance hosted a conversation with #highered about #Dobbs. But, there was 0 representation from the sector that enrolls > 40% of all undergrads: community colleges. For #todaysstudents, representation matters. Unfortunately, this missed the mark. bit.ly/3PaT7si


Excited to be at Paul D. Camp for the launch of the Virginia Infrastructure Academy! We are proud to support VA's Comm Colleges and partners in creating new pathways into infrastructure careers.


An honor and privilege to work with @WorkforceAmanda on this piece; if you don’t follow her and National Fund for Workforce Solutions you should!


Great to learn how EnRich at Richland Community College is using their IL Workforce Equity Initiative funding to support better outcomes for adults of color. @ExecDirNCWE


Honored to join this panel with Michelle Burris, Dr. Ron Williams, and Ashley Etchison on inclusive and impactful credentialing at NCWE. Great to learn about how community colleges are working to expand opportunities for workers of color in manufacturing.


Honored to join this terrific panel on SNAP E&T and community colleges with Kate Kinder, Marc Goldberg, and Elizabeth Guzman Arroyo at #NCWE2022. Really inspiring to hear what OR and other states are doing to expand opportunities for learners.



Special thanks to Lumina Foundation for our new $350,000 grant, which will increase effectiveness of skills-based hiring in partnership with Opportunity@Work and community colleges. Thanks to Kermit Kaleba & bridgette gray for their help! Read our statement👉bit.ly/3H6iET1






Great report from National Skills Coalition on the current and future state of quality non-degree credential policies. Exciting progress but there's more work to do: nationalskillscoalition.org/resource/publi…

Terrific analysis from HCMStrategists on the growth of state investments in short-term credentials - nearly $4 billion in funding - and how states are thinking about quality and equity goals: hcmstrategists.com/resources/a-ty…

States are making big investments in short-term credentials, but as National Skills Coalition notes, better data systems are needed and state lawmakers need to institute a quality rubric to ensure equitable outcomes that benefit both students and local economies. insidehighered.com/news/governanc…
