The Alabama College Attainment Network (AlabamaCAN) breaks down barriers to increase college readiness, access, and completion in Alabama, particularly among students from under-resourced families, first-generation college-going students, and students of color. 

Alabama has come together as a state around the Success Plus initiative and its target of adding 500,000 highly-skilled workers by 2025; however, linkages between K-12 and postsecondary education opportunities remain fragmented. Alabama Possible, a member of National College Attainment Network, launched a statewide network in Fall 2020, Alabama College Attainment Network, focused on the transition from high school to and through postsecondary education. The founding members include Alabama Commission on Higher Education, Alabama Community College System, and Alabama State Department of Education.  

By promoting educational pathways that result in valuable postsecondary credentials, our goal is to make the transition from high school to gainful and meaningful employment a reality for Alabama’s youth. As the convener of this statewide network, Alabama Possible aims to provide capacity building, technical assistance, consulting, workshops, training, conferences, advocacy, and research to educators, community-based organizations, and policymakers to drive equitable increases in postsecondary attainment.
