Community College to Career Bus Tour
On February 22, Dr. Jill Biden and U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis will embark on a three-day “Community College to Career” bus tour to highlight innovative industry partnerships that are helping train students with the skills they need to meet area workforce needs.
President Obama recently announced a new $8 billion Community College to Career Fund co-administered by the Department of Labor and Department of Education to forge new partnerships between community colleges and businesses to train two million workers with skills that will lead directly to jobs.
During the tour, Dr. Biden and Secretary Solis will visit several community colleges to learn about model industry partnerships, but we know there are many more success stories around the country. We want to hear from community college faculty, students, business and community leaders about how these partnerships have benefited you and your community.
- Community Colleges: Tell us how partnering with industries has changed your curriculum and helped your students succeed.
- Students: Tell us how your community college trained you for your career.
- Industry Partners: Tell us how working with a local community college has helped you train the type of highly-skilled workforce you need.
