| Description: | The community college initiative is an important step to intensify U.S.-India cooperation in higher education. However, it is a new concept in India and any Indian parents are not sure what the value of a vocational degree is. American community colleges provide one of the most effective means for achieving upward mobility in the United States. We would like to promote the idea of community colleges as one potential solution to India’s skill development challenge. We propose to hold a photographic exhibition in support of the community college model, which will tour spaces around India to increase knowledge and highlight success stories of the American model. A photo exhibition featuring community colleges can also help dispel any perceptions that community colleges are only for underprivileged communities. (Please refer full announcement for details). |
