Where are we going?
*See HECC Strategic Framework, December 2017
Five strategies to drive change, shared by HECC, postsecondary institutions, and other education and training partners.
Transform and innovate to serve learners best
• Support education and training institutions in continuing to transform, expand, and redesign their outreach and delivery models to engage today’s learners.
Center higher education and workforce training capacity on current and future state needs
• Focus postsecondary education and training resources to serve Oregonians where they are and who they are, with a priority on communities and populations that have been historically underserved.
Ensure that postsecondary learners can afford to meet their basic needs
• Improve college affordability for Oregonians and ensure that fewer students struggle with homelessness, housing insecurity, and food insecurity.
Create and support a continuum of pathways from education and training to career
• Ensure that all learners have access to a full range of education and training options beyond high school, including apprenticeships, career certificates, and college degrees.
Increase public investment to meet Oregon’s postsecondary goals
• Through adequate and sustained levels of public investments, minimize tuition increases and build programs and services to equitably serve learners.
