Key Points

This resolution officially names April as Community College Month. It celebrates the more than 1,000 schools that provide affordable education and job training to millions of Americans.
Community colleges are a major part of the economy. In one year, their former students added nearly $900 billion to the country's wealth. Research shows that for every dollar of public money these schools receive, they return almost seven dollars in tax revenue.
These schools serve about 10.5 million students who are often looking for flexible and low cost options. The average student is 27 years old, and many are the first in their families to go to college. These institutions also help train workers for high demand jobs like nursing and construction.
