“Community and technical colleges have gained a new level of respect across our state and country. We are providing direct pathways from unemployment to meaningful careers. By offering flexible programs- from two-year degrees to short-term certifications-we are removing barriers and empowering more students than ever before. We’re able to serve those students by being very nimble in how we provide education, whether it’s a two-year degree program, technical diploma, short-term certification program, high school equivalency, or something in between. They can take classes in the evening or through remote learning. We feel an obligation to remove barriers and make it as comfortable as possible for people to gain that upward mobility.” - Tim Hardy, chair of the LCTCS Board of Supervisors LCTCS plays a critical role in Louisiana’s education and workforce ecosystem, providing academic pathways, workforce training, and adult basic education services to meet the changing needs of students and employers. - From the article. https://lnkd.in/d2FGyRRY LCTCS Louisiana Board of Regents #communitycollege #endccstigma
