In late 2020, the Community College of Rhode Island participated in a national study of community college workforce education. Rhode Island was one of 14 states where education authorities encouraged colleges to respond early enough in 2020 to receive preliminary statewide results in January 2021. This brief compares Rhode Island to the 14 states in this early-responder group. The goal of the study: to explore the innovation under way at community colleges across the US and highlight what these institutions are doing to put Americans to work as the nation recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.
