Educating more than 12 million students each year, community colleges play a critical role in expanding post-secondary education opportunities. They offer high-quality degrees and certificates that provide critical pathways to thriving professional careers or four-year institutions for students seeking to transfer. During times of economic hardship, community colleges provide additional education and job skills training to individuals affected by unemployment, as reflected in enrollment trends during and after the Great Recession. These options are particularly indispensable for underserved and disadvantaged students, working adults, and students with family or employment responsibilities, enabling them to achieve their educational goals with affordable, flexible and accessible offerings.
