For more than a decade, the Diplomás initiative helped unite our community around increasing postsecondary success, particularly for historically underserved students, including our Latino community and Dreamers. Through strong partnerships, community engagement, and a shared commitment to educational equity, Diplomás helped build the foundation for much of the work taking place across Bexar County today.

As our region’s needs have evolved, so has our approach. The work previously housed under Diplomás has expanded into our broader Educational Pathways strategy, allowing us to strengthen the full continuum from high school completion through postsecondary education and into meaningful careers. Today, partners collaborate through focused regional working groups and initiatives that advance priority strategies such as Direct Admissions, Dual Credit and other accelerated learning opportunities, Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSIA) readiness, high-quality advising, college and career readiness, and workforce alignment.

While our structure has evolved, our commitment remains the same: ensuring every young person has access to the opportunities, supports, and pathways needed to achieve their goals. We welcome educators, higher education institutions, employers, community organizations, and other partners to join this work. If you’re interested in collaborating or learning more about our Postsecondary and Workforce initiatives, we’d love to connect.
