Higher Education Works!

Higher Education Works banner

 

In 2025, CDHE is embarking on a year-long campaign to amplify how learning beyond high school works for Coloradans and Colorado’s future workforce. Additionally, we plan to spotlight our state’s focus on work-based learning and internships.

Each month, you can expect an insightful video that will help you discover how higher education works, and every week, we plan to share goals, data, information and resources through social media. No matter what industry you're pursuing a career in, from technology to the arts, Colorado's postsecondary institutions offer pathways to success.

Choose higher education. Choose Colorado. Together, we’ll build a brighter tomorrow.

CDHE created a social media toolkit to assist colleges, universities and other partners in crafting social media posts to share goals, data, information and resources that highlight the successes of our postsecondary system. View the Toolkit
