This project centered priority populations through the support of a temporary staff person, a targeted regional marketing campaign, and high-touch navigational support. The funding request supported hiring a temporary employee for two years to increase awareness of postsecondary programming on behalf of priority student populations.

The project also supported a regional digital marketing campaign. This campaign targeted adult learners from underserved communities who were seeking to complete a certificate and/or degree at a postsecondary institution in the Capital Region.
