Maine Community College System Strategic Plan
The Maine Community College System (MCCS) strategic plan addresses challenges in college going and completion rates, an aging population, and rapid technological change impacting Maine's workforce. The plan focuses on three priorities: 1. Access and Attraction: increasing enrollment of recent high school graduates and adults; 2. Student Success: improving student retention and completion rates, particularly focusing on math pathways and holistic student support; and 3. Lifelong Learning and Workforce Development: strengthening workforce training programs, aligning them with employer needs, and creating pathways from short-term training to post-secondary credentials. The plan aims to increase the number of individuals served by MCCS, improve student success rates, and strengthen the alignment of MCCS programs with Maine's workforce needs.
