At the Riverside Community College District, students, faculty, community partners, and friends demonstrate every day what is possible when we work together with purpose. Our colleges have shown how education drives growth and opportunity.

Strengthened by community investment through avenues such as Measure CC, this District is expanding the footprint of higher education into more cities with projects like the upcoming Corona Education Center and the Inland Empire Technical Trade Center in Jurupa Valley.

According to the District's most recent economic impact study published in April 2025, for every dollar taxpayers invested in the District and its colleges during the previous fiscal year, the people of California will receive a cumulative value of $9.50 in benefits. For every dollar students invested in an education at our colleges in the form of out-of-pocket expenses and forgone time and money, graduates will receive an average of $8.70 in higher future earnings.

From technical training to academic programs, every student we serve contributes to a more skilled, innovative, and resilient workforce in the Inland Empire. By expanding programs and facilities, and connecting learners to career pathways, our colleges ensure students are ready for in-demand jobs while expanding the socioeconomic opportunities for residents, businesses, and the communities we serve.

This work is made possible by the trust and support of those we serve. Together, we are shaping individual futures and building a stronger, more prosperous region for generations to come.

 

In Community,
