Many states have established educational attainment goals to align a skilled workforce with industry needs, mainly focusing on adults with some college experience but no degree, who often face challenges such as debt despite progressing toward completion. The NC Reconnect project, initiated four years ago with a small cohort of five colleges, has expanded to 20 community colleges across North Carolina, engaging over 42,000 learners and enrolling more than 2,500, resulting in a combined $2.9M return on investment in additional tuition revenue for the first term. This project has provided valuable insights into effectively supporting and retaining adult learners, leading to transformative changes at Forsyth Tech and Durham Tech Community Colleges through enhanced professional development for staff and improved internal processes for connecting with adult learners. Ultimately, this initiative has equipped colleges with tools to serve their learners better while enhancing college culture and staff satisfaction.

In this episode, our guests talk about perimenopause and how more needs to be done to support community college employees with the challenges associated with it.
Approximately 50% of the population experiences perimenopause, and for many of these individuals—colleagues and leaders alike—this natural process brings physical and emotional symptoms that can disrupt workplace performance for years. A 2023 Korn Ferry survey of over 8,000 women found that 47% experienced symptoms affecting their work, with the majority feeling unsupported by their organizations around their perimenopausal needs. Symptoms like hormone fluctuations, hot flashes, and brain fog can hinder productivity and negatively impact career progression, absenteeism, and turnover, particularly among senior leadership. Unfortunately, many individuals are unaware of whom to approach about these issues, and few institutions have developed inclusive policies to address them.
