In addition to the states' commitment, Carnegie, the Lumina Foundation for Education, and the Ford, Bill & Melinda Gates, and W.K. Kellogg foundations have pledged to commit a total of $12 million over five years to Complete College America. Established in 2009, the Washington, D.C.-based organization is working to help states implement a range of strategies designed to bring needed change to and improve college completion efforts nationwide.
By joining the Complete College America Alliance of States, participating states will agree to set degree goals, develop and implement action plans to meet those goals, and collect and report student outcome data on progression toward the goals. To help achieve those goals, states will receive in-depth technical support from leading experts on improving college success, including assistance in building consensus for reform, developing policy action plans, guidance on applying for and effectively using federal funding to produce more degrees, and annual networking opportunities.
A nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, the RCWE’s mission is to connect people with jobs through collaborative workforce development efforts and strong partnerships with economic development, business, education, and government sectors in the Northwest Pennsylvania region.
