Broward College expands access to post-secondary education and training by strengthening our service model and partnerships. This model delivers workforce education courses, career readiness programs, and related support services in communities where additional educational opportunities can create meaningful impact.

Through this collaborative effort, Broward College leverages its resources and partnerships to ensure residents have pathways to pursue post-secondary education.

This expanded service model focuses on Broward County zip codes with higher unemployment rates and lower education attainment. Initially, six zip codes were targeted across 12 municipalities. It has since expanded to include all zip codes throughout the county.

About Broward UP Promise Neighborhoods

Broward UP increases access to post-secondary education and training. This innovative community- centric approach is expanding Broward College's service model and strengthening partnerships to deliver workforce education courses and programs, along with career readiness and related support services, in areas most affected by economic immobility. These are the communities in which the greatest impact can be made.

As part of this community collaborative, the college is leveraging its assets and relationships to operationalize a bedrock ideal of Broward College's existence – every resident should be empowered and enabled to pursue post-secondary education.

This expanded service model focuses on Broward County zip codes with disproportionately high unemployment rates and low education attainment. The first phase of work focused on six zip codes, representing 12 of the 31 municipalities across the county. It has now expanded to include an additional five zip codes, further saturating areas of need in existing partner cities, and adding two additional municipalities.
