1.B.4: Career Pathways

Develop new career pathways in community college programs.

Other Information:

Given the innovation and advances coming in future years, jobs requiring at least an associate’s degree are projected to grow twice as fast as those requiring no college experience. President Obama has proposed the American Graduation Initiative to produce 5 million more community college graduates by 2020, a key part of his college completion goal. The initiative would invest in promising reforms to raise graduation rates, tie courses to business needs, improve remedial education and strengthen transitions with high schools and four-year colleges. It would also leverage $10 billion in facilities modernization and repairs amongst other projects.
