Vision
This document outlines the Community College Research Center's (CCRC) efforts to leverage its research to inform and shape policy related to community colleges. Key areas of focus include promoting 'guided pathways' as a comprehensive reform framework, emphasizing the importance of workforce training, and providing essential data on community college statistics, student debt, and equity issues to policymakers. CCRC's long-range vision is to significantly improve student outcomes, leading to increased graduation rates, successful transfers to four-year institutions, and enhanced labor market success for students.
