The Changing Futures of Community College

The COVID-19 pandemic permanently transformed the role of community colleges.

On one hand, they faced dropping enrollment and increasing financial pressure. On the other hand, they saw renewed interest in career-focused programming and reskilling for adult learners.

In this Virtual Forum, we explored strategies that community colleges can use to thrive in this new era, including:

• Partnering with employers and universities
• Offering short-term certificates
• Improving public awareness of the community-college system
