    Today, less than 40% of community college students earn a certificate or degree within six years of enrollment.1 For students of color, graduation and completion rates are particularly low –28.8% for Black students and 37.1% for Hispanic students.2 The ongoing challenges stemming from the coronavirus have exacerbated the financial struggle of HBCUs and HSIs, both public and private, as they seek to serve students from the most vulnerable communities.

    “The Black and Latino students who attend Dallas College, an amalgam of seven community colleges in Dallas County, will receive job application and career counseling as soon as they enroll on campus. We are preparing our students with relevant skills as well as degrees,” says Dr. Pyeper Wilkins, vice chancellor of Dallas Colleges. “Our partners, private companies of all sizes and across many industries in and around Dallas, are in need of such graduates.”

    “I applaud Bank of America for its commitment to education and workforce initiatives across Texas, including their generous support for Aim Hire Texas,” said Margaret Spellings, former U.S. secretary of education and chief executive officer of Texas 2036. “This new statewide workforce initiative, co-chaired by Texas 2036 and The Commit Partnership, will work to ensure Texans have access to more effective and innovative workforce training programs and drive coordination and data-driven planning across the state. Their early investment will ensure more Texans are matched with good jobs that support a thriving state well into the future.”

    Bank of America will work alongside other major employers in Texas to ensure these programs target the region’s specific hiring needs that will help Texan businesses grow and create clearly defined career pathways to future employment.

    “AT&T is committed to creating economic opportunities and fostering upward mobility for Black, Hispanic and underserved communities that face long-standing social inequities and higher unemployment,” said Mike Peterson, vice president, AT&T-Texas. “Our contribution to this effort underscores our ongoing commitment to helping students succeed in the classroom and beyond. As we continue on this journey, we aspire to continue to remove barriers to academic success and career growth, and to help all students make their biggest dreams become a reality.”
