Hostos CEWD Report: Aligning Non-Matriculation to Matriculation Programs, summarizes participation of key staff at Eugenio María de Hostos Community College (Hostos) and its efforts carried out as part of the Capital One Foundation’s Community College Workforce Development (CCWD) Cohort (2015-2021). In partnership with the college’s Office of Academic Affairs (OAA) and faculty, we embarked on an initiative to encourage greater collaboration between continuing education and workforce development and academic departments/divisions in the college. Proposed recommendations for moving forward are shared based on the learnings from the CCWD Cohort and the Hostos experience. Next steps are drawn from best practices that hold promise to strengthen the Hostos student experience while deepening collaborations between the Division for Continuing Education and Workforce Development (CEWD) and OAA.
