Event highlights value of community colleges

The forum is based on a report from PathWays PA that examines the impact that community colleges and other workforce development can have on the earnings of Pennsylvanians.

While many students enter college straight from high school, a growing number of students need access to higher education after they have already entered the workforce. The report examines the needs of adult workers in Pennsylvania and the part that community colleges can play in serving those needs.
In addition to discussing this report, participants will also have the opportunity to learn more about workforce development and community colleges from around the country.
RSVP here or by calling or emailing Kate Scully at 610-543-5022 x255 or [email protected].
