Higher Education Partners has designed an initiative for community colleges across the nation. The community colleges themselves define the programs of study, the courses, and the curriculum. They screen, admit, enroll, and place the students. They hire the faculty. In effect, they are the sole decision makers for all educational activities of the new initiative.As their partner, we provide start-up capital to build a facility necessary to implement the program, assist with the development of new cutting edge technology so that courses and programs can be provided in a hybrid or blended fashion, and help with the placement of students.The community college initiative allows students to come to campus only once a week, and provides a maximum amount of coursework either online, or in a blended environment. By doing so, it allows students to keep jobs that they may have and attend to other responsibilities, like children and families.Our community college initiative will train students for the jobs of the future in a responsible, convenient, and affordable way. It is a win-win situation for students, colleges, and employers.
