Education Design Lab

Tri-C was recently awarded a national grant for five years of strategic plan development and implementation assistance from the Education Design Lab.

The Education Design Lab is a national nonprofit that co-designs, prototypes and tests education-to-community pathway models through an appreciative inquiry process focused on understanding learners' experiences, addressing equity gaps in higher education, and connecting learners to economic mobility.
