Seven organizations were selected from applicants of the “innovative solutions in education-to-employment” competition Strada announced last year.
The recipients of the three-year awards are:
• Bay Path University
• George Mason University
• Oregon State University
• Code Nation
• Community Education Coalition
• Commonwealth Corporation Foundation
• San Diego Workforce Partnership
“No one sector can close skill and equity gaps, alone. These grants reflect a commitment to investing in an ecosystem of providers to help individuals bridge the divide between education and economic opportunity,” said William D. Hansen, president and CEO of Strada Education Network. “These grant partners understand that completion, alone, is insufficient to make good on the promise of post-secondary education. They’re listening to education consumers as well as employers, and designing solutions that are relevant to the real-world challenges – and opportunities – today’s students face.”
