The new partnership has been dubbed Chicago Roadmap 2.0 and builds on a previous partnership between CPS and CCOC called Chicago Roadmap, which helped CPS students transition to City Colleges of Chicago by creating specific curricula and learning pathways to prepare them for community college. Chicago Roadmap was launched in 2020.
City officials said the program has become a nationally recognized partnership between K-12 schools and community colleges, so now they are launching a second phase that focuses on helping students complete bachelor's degrees.
