The North Carolina Community College System is set to launch the NC Community Colleges Boost program in 2025, aimed at providing students with tailored supports to facilitate entry into high-demand careers. Following the successful CUNY ASAP model, this initiative will be implemented at eight community colleges initially, expanding to seven more the following year. With a $35.6 million grant from Arnold Ventures, this program is designed to enhance graduation rates and reduce associated costs for low-income students while aligning with North Carolina's workforce development goals.
