By co-locating college classrooms in existing neighbourhood gathering places (i.e., a community centre and a public library), our research explores whether integrating college capacity and resources in community hub locations can help increase the accessibility of post-secondary education. In doing so, we address a gap in the research in exploring how community hubs provide a support structure that can help boost the motivation of low-income adult learners and better facilitate their pathway to a post-secondary education. Drawing upon a thematic analysis of interview data, we (1) analyze partners' perspectives on the community hub-based approach in bolstering the accessibility of higher education; (2) reflect on the process of campus-community engagement underpinning the partnership structure; and (3) critically assess the efficacy of the community hub model in connecting learners with an educational pathway. |
