St. Clair County Community College was one of seven state community colleges to be awarded a Reconnect Community Action Grant by the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP).
MiLEAP announced the awards yesterday, May 27, with $8.1 million in grants to be split among the seven schools. The Reconnect Community Action Grants are part of Michigan’s broader effort to achieve the Sixty by 30 goal, which aims to ensure that 60% of working-age residents have a postsecondary degree or credential by 2030.
Each grantee project was selected for its place-based strategy to serve adult students and foster collaborative, long-term approaches to educational attainment and workforce readiness. With their portion of the grant, St. Clair County Community College (SC4) will lead the development of a new career-focused system in the St. Clair County region aligned with labor market needs.
