SUMMARY:Investing in Rural America: The Role of Community Colleges in Rural Workforce Development
DESCRIPTION:Community colleges play a critical role in expanding economic opportunity\, particularly in rural communities. Join the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond’s Center for Rural Economies for a virtual conversation exploring how community colleges are helping to strengthen rural workforce development and support local economies.  \n\n\n\nEach year\, the Richmond Fed conducts the Survey of Community College Outcomes with the goal of providing a more holistic look at how community colleges are preparing their students for the workforce. The webinar will start by reviewing this year’s results and their implications. Following the presentation\, community college presidents from rural-serving institutions will share their perspectives on building workforce pipelines\, partnering with local employers\, and supporting student success in their communities.  \n\n\n\nTogether\, the speakers will discuss the opportunities and barriers facing rural workforce development\, as well as innovative strategies community colleges are using to connect students with in-demand careers within their communities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation
