From charterworks: Two community-college presidents on surviving a tight labor market, enrollment drops, and a student-debt crisis
In this economy, employers need a talented workforce now, and the community college can skill-up individuals quickly and get them into jobs immediately. Mott Community College has several programs where students can spend a few weeks in training and land jobs making as much as $60,000 a year, like dental assisting, sterile processing technician, and electrical lineworker. Electric lineworkers can even make over $100,000 after two years.
Given the fast pace in technological change against the slower pace of corporate innovation, many institutions are obsessed with training and skill-building. What can we learn from the community-college approach on this?: Because of the pace of technological innovation, it has never been more important for educators to customize programming and adapt facilities to real-world needs.
This has ultimately led to our enrollment increasing in recent semesters, but we do not take that for granted. Like all community colleges, we must continually work to distinguish our institution, meet needs in timely and creative ways, and consider our decisions through the lens of the student experience.The pandemic affected community colleges considerably due to a substantial number of community college programs offered in person. Switching to online was unfathomable until it occurred.
