Edu-REACH, Post Secondary Education & Workforce
What We Do
Our impact reaches students, families, superintendents, teachers, business and communities.
Businesses & Communities
CEN connects talented young people to local industries through place-based research and work-based learning, strengthening the bond between communities and schools and creating new pathways for rural economic growth.
Rural Roots
CEN was developed in rural communities, for rural communities. We understand the unique challenges and defining strengths of small towns.
2-Way Engagement
CEN schools invite the community to participate actively in the school, through guest lectures, research projects, internships, and advising on program design.
Local Talent Development
Local employers mentor and train the next generation, reducing rural “brain drain” and sidestepping the difficulties of attracting and retaining new talent.
EDU-REACH
This transformative project aims to provide a clear pathway for rural post-secondary students and adults in the workforce to complete degrees without having to leave their local communities, thus increasing access to high-quality education and training opportunities that lead to meaningful careers and enhanced economic prospects.
