Exemplary Award

Each year, NCWE recognizes two colleges with our Exemplary Program Awards in two categories: Credit Workforce Development Program and Noncredit Workforce Development Program. Award recipients are chosen based on six application criteria: executive summary, description of partnerships and collaborations, potential economic impact, advancement of diversity, equity, and inclusion, program outcomes and impact, and replication and scalability. Colleges must be NCWE members to be eligible for the awards
