Why support EDvance College?

Addressing the ECE workforce shortage
Through our work, we have found that traditional higher education and support programs are inadequate in serving and graduating the ECE workforce needed today. To address this issue, EDvance College is boldly reimagining the higher education experience by prioritizing the unique needs of working students, ultimately producing high-quality ECE professionals and community catalysts. Our curriculum and support services are intentionally designed to ensure student success.
A proven model for success
EDvance has been dedicated to supporting ECE practitioners in attaining their degrees for more than a decade. Our extensive experience has given us invaluable insight into the needs and challenges facing our students, and we have developed a model that has consistently produced outstanding results both inside and outside of the classroom. With a 95% graduation rate and over 300 alumni, our innovative approach has successfully prepared workforce-ready practitioners who have become community catalysts.

Impact at scale

Our self-sustaining model, which requires only an initial infrastructure investment, can be implemented in any community across the country.
