Cities Addressing Basic Needs to Improve Postsecondary and Workforce Success
NLC is offering six select city teams help to build strong and equitable pathways to postsecondary and workforce success with an intentional focus to remove barriers such as a lack of food, housing, childcare or transportation that can often get in the way of college completion, through an 18-month technical assistance initiative.
Goals for Participating Cities:
- Develop Vision, Goals and Action Plans;
- Engage Key Partners to Achieve Desired Results;
- Use Data to Inform Practice;
- Confer with National Experts and Philanthropic Leaders;
- Document and Share Best Practices and Lessons Learned;
- Connect Mayors’ Broader Education and Workforce Development Agendas
