The community college is poised to contribute beyond its own community to across the world. To do so—to advance the work for the betterment of students and communities—it must engage internationally while building capacity. Recognizing the growing importance of educating students in a globalized world, this volume explores the community college in an international context. It addresses global ideals, values, competencies, and understanding in a local context and shows: How individual community colleges have internationalized How models and partnerships can aid progression to comprehensive internationalization How international systems consider adoption and adaptation. The authors point to a crucial vision for the future: Globalization has moved the U.S. community college steadily from international education as an add-on to international education as a choice, and now to international education as a crucial, integrated mission that has drawn increased interest from other nations intent on an educated, skilled citizenry. The community college is no longer about the United States; the community college is for all of us, a world phenomenon. This is the 161st volume of this Jossey-Bass quarterly report series.

Community colleges in America have evolved a great deal from the establishment of the first community college in Chicago 117 years ago. The idea of American community colleges serves as a catalyst for connective solutions between industry, college, and the community on a global level.

This research will help any nation or state forge policies on adapting the concept toward democratization of economic opportunities for all individuals as opposed to the current elitist system of higher education. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as diploma pathway programs and the development of education institutions in various countries, this book is ideally designed for academicians, economic and educational policymakers, higher education professionals, and individuals engaged in expansion and democratization of post-secondary education worldwide.

This book presents key features, attributes and defining characteristics of Canadian Community Colleges and Institutes of Technology and the lessons they offer to developing countries in Asia. Internationalization initiatives of Community Colleges suggest that partnerships in skills and human capital development are possible in countries at various stages of development and are in fact the hallmark of successful global economies. The publication draws lessons from the Canadian approaches while suggesting that no model can simply be transplanted to Asia and the Pacific. Rather the Canadian approaches should inspire countries to create their own new models and practices.

An overview is provided of the nontraditional, direct involvement of community colleges in economic development activities. While a review of the literature and a discussion of the factors leading to community colleges' participation in economic development are included, the primary focus of the monograph is on seven models of nontraditional involvement in economic development. Part 1 reviews the literature on economic development as it applies to community colleges and distinguishes between traditional and nontraditional activities. In part 2, key demographic, economic, and sociopolitical trends and forces are described that have provided incentives for community colleges' involvement in the economic growth of their regions and states. Case studies illustrating seven nontraditional models of direct involvement by community colleges are presented in part 3. Descriptions are provided of the Institute for Business and Industry at Lake Michigan College (Michigan); the Mid-Florida Research and Business Center, Inc., at Daytona Beach Community College (Florida); the Pueblo Business Assistance Network at Pueblo Community College (Colorado); the Office Automation Center at Trident Technical College (South Carolina); performance-based contracting at Florida Community College at Jacksonville; the Bevill Center for Advanced Technology at Gadsden State Community College (Alabama); and the international focus of the Center for Business and Industry at Miami-Dade Community College (Florida). Part 4 identifies key factors associated with the success of nontraditional approaches. (AYC)
