Description
The Community College Administrator Program’s (CCAP) goal is to advance U.S. global leadership in vocational-technical education, support systemic education policy change in priority countries, and foster strategic partnerships that advance U.S. interests in trade and commerce. By showcasing America’s specialized approach to vocational-technical education, CCAP will help reduce reliance on foreign aid and cultivate trade and business relationships that strengthen U.S. supply chains and economic interests. CCAP will introduce approximately 20 foreign higher education officials and senior administrators to the U.S. community college model through a maximum six-week program, to be implemented approximately between October 2026 and June 2027. The program consists of a virtual exchange and up to four weeks of in-person programming in the United States, featuring site visits, industry engagement, and a one-week executive dialogue. Cohorts include government or high-level officials with higher education planning responsibilities and senior administrators from post-secondary vocational and technical institutions, selected from one or more countries. The program will examine the key tenets of community college administration and cutting-edge programs at U.S. community colleges that address local educational and labor market needs. In support of U.S. foreign policy, the program will build participant higher education policy knowledge regarding community college administration in key areas including, but not limited to, developing talent pipelines, curriculum development, program assessment, finance and fundraising, and private sector partnerships. The successful applicant will provide responsive and flexible programming and exhibit an ability to tailor activities to U.S. priorities for vocational-technical education that leads to measurable positive policy change. Please see the NOFO for additional information.
