Dear partners and innovators,
You may remember when Chancellor Lee Lambert talked about how Pima Community College (PCC) was using the micro-pathways design process to help transform one of the largest multi-campus community colleges in the nation.
Pima designed eight micro-pathways through the Lab’s Community College Growth Engine Fund (CCGEF) in 2020-21.
Today, we share some more highlights in this Transformation Profile — the first in a series.
A few highlights:
- Over 4,000 learners interested in PCC's micro-pathways.
- Designed for "universal access" to be more inclusive of adult learners.
- Instituted a "universal design" approach to their PimaFastTrack program.
- PCC uses Standards of Practice for program development where academic and workforce are aligned using CCGEF’s design criteria.
- Leadership changes reflect the focus on learners, micro-pathways, and innovation.
