Does the United Kingdom's new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, look familiar? 

Maybe you saw him when he came to visit ACC's Highland Campus!

During his time as Mayor of Greater Manchester, Burnham joined regional leaders to explore how community colleges help drive workforce and economic development.

The conversations focused on:

• Employer partnerships that connect education to workforce needs
• Stackable credentials and transfer pathways
• Preparing students for careers in advanced manufacturing, life sciences, and other high-demand industries
• Building stronger workforce connections between Central Texas and Greater Manchester

These exchanges reinforce something we see every day: workforce challenges are global, and community colleges are helping build the talent needed to meet them.

We're proud to represent Central Texas while creating opportunities that benefit our students, employers, and communities.
