Community Colleges as Workforce Intermediaries:  Community Colleges are becoming increasingly important in workforce development and as resources for helping low-skilled people gain meaningful credentials and careers. Enrollments are up dramatically nationwide and public policy now recognizes postsecondary education, especially community colleges, as a key element for helping people gain the skills to fully participate in the labor market. Many NFWS-supported collaboratives are working with community colleges often as contractors or service providers.
