Description
Community colleges are under constant pressure to address desperate workforce needs for skilled health-care employees, buffeted by the “perfect storm” of expensive education in an environment of shrinking budgets. Enter an innovative solution: a public/private partnership in which the college keeps all the control and a private entity bankrolls it. Learn how Bristol Community College in Fall River, Massachusetts, worked with accrediting agencies, legislators, state education leaders, and even the governor to navigate this journey without losing its soul or compromising its mission.
