The Heldrich Center reviewed some of the recent federal, national, regional, and local efforts to nurture dedicated and deliberate community college partnerships with employers. The study included an in-depth analysis of whether people with disabilities have been included in ongoing community college-employer (CCE) partnership efforts across the nation, including those supported through federal grant making, and whether these partnerships have been incorporated into current disability employment initiatives. The center undertook a literature review and conducted interviews with stakeholders involved in CCE partnerships. The report offered several recommendations on how to expand opportunities for people with disabilities in CCE partnerships.
