Our Mission
At Front Range Community College, we enrich lives through learning.
Community connectivity is essential to maximize opportunities in resource sharing and collaboration promoting WBL. Involvement with the Larimer County Work-Based Learning Alliance will help provide dynamic programming and relationship building with our community partners to further support a meaningful WBL student experience.
WBL is important for students and members of our business community. WBL extends classroom learning and gives students opportunities to practice skills in real-world scenarios. WBL also provides students with opportunities to observe professionals in action in addition to networking with potential employers. Furthermore, WBL provides employers with the opportunity to help shape the next generation of workers and engage directly with Front Range Community College in a meaningful way.
