The Challenge:
Breaking Barriers to Higher Education
In Pennsylvania,
60% OF JOB OPENINGS
require workers to have post-secondary education or trade certification.
College graduates can make over
$1.2 MILLION MORE
in their life span than if they did not have a college degree.

“I received step-by-step guidance on my college selection as well as guidance throughout college. I received an internship at IMC Construction thanks to CCF!
