Five in-depth case studies reveal the innovative practices that position U.S. community colleges as pathways to quality employment.In America’s Hidden Economic Engines, editors Robert B. Schwartz and Rachel Lipson spotlight community and technical colleges as institutions uniquely equipped to foster more equitable economic growth across America’s regions. As Schwartz and Lipson show, these colleges are the best-placed institutions to reverse the decades-long rise in US economic inequality by race, class, and geography.In the book, Harvard Project on Workforce researchers introduce detailed case studies of five institutions—Lorain County Community College in Ohio, Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, Northern Virginia Community College, Pima Community College in Arizona, and San Jacinto Community College in Texas—that show what is possible when governments, employers, and communities invest in their community colleges’ economic and workforce development mission.These case studies reveal key institutional policies and practices, leadership behaviors, and organizational structures of successful collaborations between colleges and their regional partners in the public and private sector. Each case underscores how, although community colleges face distinct challenges based on local context, successful schools demonstrate a consistent focus on economic mobility and good jobs across all their programs and activities. In a concluding chapter, the editors champion community colleges as the most critical institutions for the future of US workforce development policy.

A forward-looking blueprint for job training in the age of AI, from the front lines of technological changeNew technologies are reshaping the foundations of the US economy, with implications that may ultimately affect nearly every industry. But unlike previous waves of technological changes—when gains mostly accrued to the most educated or most privileged amongst us—this time could be different. In The New American Frontier, Rachel Lipson shows that there is still a real opportunity for good-paying jobs that do not require a four-year degree to build these technologies and maintain them.The book tells this story through seven "frontier" regions where new technologies have landed first. Each chapter offers a clear-eyed look at which jobs have actually materialized, which training programs and policies are working, and where education and workforce systems have struggled to keep pace. From batteries in Michigan to AI data centers in Virginia to small modular nuclear reactors in Idaho, The New American Frontier follows the projects bringing these technologies to life, the next generation of hands-on technical jobs being created, and the educational pathways into these careers.Lipson argues that to make these opportunities real, the country desperately needs renewed attention to community colleges, technical schools, and apprenticeships. She also makes the case for more companies stepping up to help train people, not just hire them. All this means rethinking what we ask of each of educators, employers, and government alike in this next chapter of the American economy. Starting from these places where economic change is already underway, Lipson offers a forward-looking agenda for how our institutions must adapt to support American workers in a new technological era.
