Noncredit Education and Non-Degree Credentials
EERC brings unique expertise to studying the intersection of higher education and the public workforce system and connections between educational institutions and the labor market, including sector strategies.
Student Choices and Pathways
EERC studies the ways students navigate educational and career decisions. We examine institutional approaches to student advising and academic support, as well as the influence of information on student decision making.
Community College Innovation
EERC studies all aspects of the process of developing industry-based career pathways including curriculum development, stackable credentials, career and technical education, apprenticeships and other training models. We also study other institutional reforms to transitions along the educational pathway including credit-transfer and prior learning assessment.
