Title
Broadening participation: a community college strategy
Abstract
The Commonwealth Alliance for Information Technology Education (CAITE) is an alliance of 15 Massachusetts public campuses that focuses on community colleges because of their role as a gateway to careers and further higher education for underserved populations. CAITE outreach extends into four regions that have high percentages of students who are under-represented in the knowledge and innovation economy. Building on two years' experience and extensive data, we are strengthening our efforts to develop nurturing educational pathways and to ensure that students are adequately prepared to enter them. CAITE can serve as a transferable model for statewide collaborations.
