From the meeting
At its August 25, 2026 meeting, the college announced it had been selected as one of nineteen participants in the Aspen Institute's Unlocking Opportunity program. The program supports pathways to jobs with market value salaries. The college said it had already been proactive in implementing pathways and services before applying.
This is a grant-like initiative and a strong signal for student support, advising, and workforce pathway vendors.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
