Why Community Colleges are Every State's Richest Resource - Dr. Jay Allen, President of Itawamba Community College

Two-year colleges are truly the unsung heroes of our communities. They provide a whole range of services that go beyond the classroom to advance education, culture, athletics, our workforce...the list goes on. 

In part one of our two-episode series with Dr. Jay Allen, President of Itawamba Community College, we're breaking these services down to really understand all the resources our colleges can offer. 

We discuss how ICC is:

• Meeting the specific workforce needs of its employers, large and small
• Providing dorms, athletics and extracurriculars so students can have the full college experience
• Breaking down barriers like finances and access via online learning so all students can pursue their dreams
• Collaborating in statewide system that allows learners to take the specific courses they need without having to move or travel
• Helping states like Mississippi achieve education attainment goals and advance the level of education for all residents
