Strategic Plan Updates

Stay updated on the progress of TCC's strategic plan.

April 8, 2024

Dear TCC Community,

We're seeing steady progress—30 days' worth so far—in our six-month planning process to position our standing as the best comprehensive community college in the nation. Lots of great work has been accomplished. Still, there's much to come, including an opportunity for Tarrant County College employees, students and partners to share thoughts and ideas in an April survey.

With the full support of our chancellor, the Strategic Planning Advisory Team, and our consultant MGT, we're on target to present this multiyear blueprint to the TCC Board of Trustees in August. Phase 1 of the seven-part process—timelines, work scope, communications plan, and initial MGT meeting—is complete, and the next three phases are underway.

All seven phases are on our Strategic Plan webpage, and we will regularly update the TCC community. Keeping you informed delivers on our promise of a transparent effort that fully involves students, faculty, staff and partners.

Trustees shared thoughts on the College's mission, vision and values with MGT at their March work session. Catch that interactive discussion online (7a of the Chancellor's Report). And MGT's full review of studies by Lightcast (our labor market analytics partner) along with enrollment, operations, communications, facilities and financial reports should conclude by month's end to help build a bridge from where we are now to where we aspire to be.

One-on-one MGT interviews with TCC faculty and staff took place the first week of March, and 15 focus groups of students, employees, partners and TCC Foundation board members are happening now through mid-April.

The Strategic Planning Advisory Team, in collaboration with MGT, developed criteria for selecting a diverse group of interview and focus group participants from varied departments and partnerships to articulate the College's strengths, challenges and aspirations.

Watch for more updates as this exciting work progresses.

Together we will advance our future!
