Abstract
The Sustainable Development Goals link access to higher education, parti cularly for non-traditional populations, as a way to fight poverty and ensure
prosperity. This article examines the experiences of several under-researched
categories of non-traditional students who attend Community Colleges and
Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Colleges in multiple
jurisdictions worldwide. The article begins to fill in the gap with comparative
data on how these institutions advance equity, diversity, and inclusion
through access to higher education. The implications of Community
Colleges and TVET are analyzed using the lens of Neo-Liberalism and the
Capabilities Narrative. The study extends the scope of the inquiry into the
contributions these institutions make to sustainable development. The arti cle uses a comparative multi-case study approach to examine the
Community Colleges and TVET Colleges in different jurisdictions worldwide.
