COVID-19 hit workers with less education hardest, underscoring the need for public investments in workforce training. A new PPIC report describes student pathways through career education programs at community colleges and discusses insights from stakeholder interviews on how to help more people complete programs and connect to quality jobs. PPIC researcher Shannon McConville will present report findings and moderate a discussion with an expert panel.

This research and event are supported with funding from the ECMC Foundation, the James Irvine Foundation, and the Sutton Family Fund.
