Commerce City Promise

A Workforce Pathway Program Initiative

The Commerce City Promise (C3 Promise) is a groundbreaking partnership between the City of Commerce City and the Community College of Aurora (CCA) that provides no-cost access to short-term credential programs for all Commerce City residents. This opportunity is fully funded through the city's ARPA-supported Advancing Commerce City Together (ACT) initiative. This program helps eliminate common barriers, such as cost and access, so residents can pursue meaningful career paths as part of the Workforce Pathway Program. It’s designed not only to benefit individuals and families but to meet the needs of Commerce City’s growing business community.
