The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $349,818 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to Kilgore College in Texas. The funding will be used to develop a wraparound solution for reducing barriers to program completion for students in the Computer Information Technology (CIT) program. The project aims to improve retention, completion, and the employability of CIT students by aligning the curriculum with local industry needs, deploying multi-modality instruction, and enhancing student support systems such as supplemental instruction, mentoring, and coaching. The resulting curriculum model is intended to be replicable at rural community colleges nationwide to address the growing demand for skilled IT technicians in Texas and across the country.
