Environmental Scanning Defined

At Brookdale Community College, environmental scanning is a planned purposeful process to gather and share information within the college community. The external environment, including social, technological, environmental, economic and political factors, is examined to identify trends or events which could have future implications for the college. By understanding these forces of change, effective responses may be developed in order to plan for the future, identify challenges, be aware of opportunities and gain competitive advantage.

The summit presented an opportunity to bring together community colleges, business, philanthropy, federal and state policy leaders, and students to discuss how community colleges can help meet the job training and education needs of the nation’s evolving workforce, as well as the critical role these institutions play in achieving the President’s goal to lead the world with the highest proportion of college graduates by 2020.

How will Brookdale Community College be involved as new programs emerge?
