Community Colleges at a Crossroads: Market assessment and a call to action, is a report developed by LAEDC in collaboration with the 19 community colleges in the LA region, as part of our partnership in Center for a Competitive Workforce. This report provides analysis of the changing educational landscape, and offers recommendations to increase the ability of the LA Area community colleges to be highly successful.
The report is posted at the CCW website, and we encourage community college leaders and staff, educators, workforce development professionals and other interested audiences to visit the CCW website for more information about this report, and to engage with CCW.
