Community College Summit White House, October 2010
Community colleges are “one of the keys to the future of our country. We are in a global competition to lead in the growth industries of the 21st century. And that leadership depends on a well-educated, highly skilled workforce” (The White House, 2011, p. 11).

What’s the Problem?Middle Skills Gap
vs
Job Polarization
Mismatch between skills and
jobs “Hollowing out” of middle skill jobs

Preliminary Findings – Two TAACCCT Consortia (16 colleges,
9 states)• Design: Bridges, pathways, and stackable
credentials, mostly to sub-baccalaureate level• Strategies: competency-based, acceleration,
contextualization, intrusive advising, etc.• Participants:
– 31-34 years old– 40% racial/ethnic minority– 30% Pell– 70% part-time enrolled– Over 50% working (any job)

Preliminary Results (Aft 2 Years)Health Care Consortium (9 CCs)
• Enrollment exceeds target by nearly 300% – Target: 2250, Enrollment: 6317
• Contextualized remedial reform: 2 colleges only
• Core competency-based reform: 3 colleges only
• All CCs report high credit attainment rate– Explanation: Intrusive support services
• Credential attainment: 2 meet target; 2 close
• Employment: Unknown (only 1% recorded so far)

TAACCCT career pathways focus on middle-skill gap, but will they lead to jobs?
![Page 17: Career Pathways in Disparate Industry Sectors to Serve Underserved Populations in the U.S](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070422/56816588550346895dd842c9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Unanswered Questions• Do career pathways lead to middle-skill jobs?
• Is individual social mobility enhanced?
• Does public policy lead to economic growth?
