Study Finds an Impressive Economic Impact of CCD

A recent study "Analysis of the Economic Impact and Return on Investment of Education: The Economic Value of Community College of Denver" touts CCD's impressive impact.

The results of this study demonstrate that CCD creates value from multiple perspectives. The college benefits local businesses by increasing consumer spending in the region and supplying a steady flow of qualified, trained workers into the workforce. It enriches the lives of students by raising their lifetime earnings and helping them achieve their individual potential. It benefits state taxpayers through increased tax receipts across the state and reduces the demand for government-supported social services. Finally, it benefits society as a whole in Colorado by creating a more prosperous economy and generating a variety of savings through the improved lifestyles of students.
