What We Do

Projects

  • The Equity Conscious Community College Pathways (EC3P) is a comprehensive national project focused on building student and practitioner pipelines through advancing guided pathways that support mobility for first-generation, underserved, and minoritized youth, as well as promoting career pathways and equity-centered training for community college educators.
  • Pathways to Results (PTR) is an outcomes-focused, equity-guided process to improve programs and policies that support student transition to and through postsecondary education into employment.
  • Program Review Illinois supports colleges in making campus-level planning and decision-making related to the quality and cost-effectiveness of programs, assessment and improvement of programs, identifying programs that should be discontinued or scaled-back, and best practices and other exemplary innovations that can be scaled internally or externally to the college.
