Complete College America (CCA) is a bold national advocate for dramatically increasing college completion rates and closing institutional performance gaps by working with states, systems, institutions, and partners to scale highly effective structural reforms and promote policies that improve student success.
We believe higher education has a choice: to continue to reflect the racial, social, and economic injustice in society—or reimagine our systems to be engines of equity, prosperity, and hope. At CCA, we’re building a new system that restores the promise of higher education.
CCA and Riipen have joined forces in a multi-year initiative to integrate AI-focused work-based learning components into community college curricula, and create a national community of practice on equipping students with cutting-edge AI skills and real-world experience, preparing them for the rapidly evolving workforce of tomorrow.
