Funding Non-Degree Workforce Programs at Community Colleges
Archer-Rosenthal, Dana
New America
High-quality non-degree workforce programs at community colleges, including both credit-bearing and non-credit programs, play a crucial role in equipping low-income and marginalized workers and learners with the skills and credentials they need to secure quality jobs and careers in a variety of occupations. Financing these programs can be a challenge for many colleges. As part of its New Models for Career Preparation project, The Center on Education and Labor at New America (CELNA), with support from Lumina Foundation, commissioned Non-Profit Finance Fund to undertake a study examining innovative financing approaches. This report presents the findings from the study. [This report is a partnership with the Nonprofit Finance Fund (NFF).]
