Colleges want more of their students to earn credentials, prepare for careers, and be positioned to thrive. But these good intentions do not always lead to meaningful improvement, particularly for historically underserved groups. NCII helps colleges redesign their approaches so they more effectively serve students and create positive change in their communities.

Colleges face tough challenges in the post-pandemic era. Engaging financially stressed students and families questioning the value of higher education. Building community partnerships to strengthen regional economies. Staying nimble in the face of rapid technological change and growing competition.

Even with these challenges, community colleges and other broad-access institutions are committed to improving the economic mobility of each student who walks through their doors. NCII is a leader in helping these colleges implement the authentic change necessary to fulfill that promise.
