​

Better support for their communities

• Alamo City Colleges’ community partnerships focused on promoting a better life and fighting poverty, hunger, and homelessness have helped create grants and scholarships that further strengthen the connection between the city and the colleges.  The number of students awarded scholarships has increased from 580 to 2,175 and the amount awarded from $500,000 to over $2 million since 2010.

Better outcomes

• Seventy percent of Tri County Tech’s high school program graduates move on to further education. Rates for completion/retention and placement for students after graduation have been in the top 25 percent nationally for eight years. The adult average wage for graduates is above the growth rate for state and national wages, increasing to $19 per hour in FY2018 compared to a state and national average of about $15 per hour.

• The City of Fort Collins’ credit rating is “AAA” by Moody’s Investors Service.  As a result of this rating, and a positive ratio of revenue to budget, the City’s debt obligations decreased from $119 million in 2014 to $90 million in 2016.

Better workforce engagement
