Recenzii
Working Together is the second volume in this companion series, chronicling the importance of strategic partnerships to foster career success and community stewardship among immigrant populations at community colleges. Each chapter recounts the opportunities and challenges community colleges face as they "address emerging economic and workforce challenges" (p. 3) while supporting the diverse needs of immigrants who are navigating the communities where they live and work. This study details how community colleges are the fabric of their communities and can be used as a resource for immigrants as they adjust to new lives in the US. Contributors further emphasize that community colleges are well positioned to maintain innovative and multi-sector partnerships that include programmatic funding and training to help immigrants develop workforce skills. Importantly, the stories recounted here highlight the spectrum of immigrant students, from those learning foundational workforce skills to those who are highly educated and looking to transition into the American workforce. Case studies and practical advice encourage practitioners to sustain initiatives that will support academic and career success for immigrant populations, as the collection describes how to successfully replicate and scale immigrant initiatives. Summing Up: Recommended. All levels.
The Community College Consortium for Immigrant Education has provided a significant set of resources with the publication of the companion books, Working Towardan Equitable and Prosperous Future For All: How Community Colleges and Immigrants Are Changing America and Working Together: How Community Colleges and Their Partners Help Immigrants Succeed. Community colleges are the natural choice for immigrants to learn the skills needed to adapt to a new environment and to become successful contributors to American society and our economy. These companion books, written by experienced community college leaders, provide valuable information to assist our colleges to develop and strengthen programs for this important group of students.
These books offer deep insight into the most promising, innovative models for addressing barriers to economic opportunity for immigrants and English language learners and understanding how partnerships can help strengthen, sustain, and replicate this work. You could spend the next few years traveling across the country to meet these thought leaders and see their programs in action. Or you can acquire the knowledge from the frontlines in this two-volume compendium.
This publication highlights effective community college partnerships, policies and programs that support immigrant and refugee students. Community colleges across the country act as the bridge to the middle class and careers with economic mobility. Community college leaders committed to equitable student success can benefit greatly from the promising practices in this CCCIE publication, including the chapter on the Oregon Career Pathways framework.
As America's workforce continues to diversify, community colleges are a critical provider of skills and opportunities for immigrants and refugees seeking to realize their fullest potential. The expertise and vision found in the pages of Working Together: How Community Colleges and Their Partners Help Immigrants Succeed will improve training opportunities and, in the end, help our newest citizens reach their American dream.
Working Together: How Community Colleges and Their Partners Help Immigrants Succeed demonstrates how partnerships are crucial to strengthening communities and local and regional economies. The case studies demonstrate practical solutions to challenges--what makes programs and partnerships work, but also what hasn't worked and how to address challenges. We learn how campuses and communities recognize immigrants and refugees as valued assets, enhancing the diversity of college campuses and contributing to the cultural vibrancy of our communities.

This book highlights the unique role these partnerships play in the growth and development of our communities, so that everyone has access to an equitable and prosperous future.
