CCC:    Career  Advancement  Academies  •   Establish  pipelines  to  college  and  high  wage  careers  for  underemployed,  underprepared  young  adults  (18  –30  years  old)    •   Bridge  programs  connected  to  career  pathways  in  key  sectors  (career  pathways)    

•   UBlize  range  of  approaches,  but  have  common  key  elements:  ―  Contextualized  Teaching  and  Learning  as  core  strategy  ―  Cohort  based  learning  communiBes  combine  basic  skills  and  CTE  ―  Integrated  student  services  ―  External  partnerships  (business,  labor,  WIBS,  CBOs,  adult  ed/ROCPs)  ―  ASenBon  to  transiBon  strategies  and  ongoing  pathways    

•     DemonstraBon  projects:      ―  Phase  1:    29  colleges  in  3  regions  (East  Bay,  Central  Valley,  LA)  ―  $20  million  investment  over  4  years;    >  8,000  students    ―  Phase  2:  expanding  to  4  regions  (added  SMCCD,  ECC/Compton)  ―  Public/Private  Partnership  between  CCC  system  and  philanthropy  ―  CLP:  TA/support;  OMG:  evaluaBon/data

What  ma2ers  most  for  student  success?  •  Clear,  Bghtly  structured  paths  through  basic  skills,  noncredit  and  

credit  postsecondary  coursework.    •  Shulock  report:  few  well-­‐defined  programs  of  study  in  CCC  CTE  offerings  and  too  

many  choices.  Offer  fewer  programs,  choose  according  to  local  labor  mkt.  

•  The  sooner  students  enter  a  program  of  study,  the  more  likely  they  are  to  complete  a  credenBal.    –  Shulock  study;  only  ½  of  all  CCC  students  enter  prgm  study  in  first  year.  

•  New  approaches  to  basic  skills  can  speed  entry  into  programs  of  study  and  support  student  success  in  CTE  coursework.    •  Shulock  report:  Few  CTE  students  enroll  in  basic  skills;  CTE  faculty  don’t  see  

benefit.  CCC  Basic  Skills  IniBaBve  had  liSle  focus  on  CTE.    

•  Financial  aid  criBcal  for  access  and  success;  other  benefits  for  low  income  students  can  supplement  it.    

•  Student  services  also  criBcal  and  can  be  embedded  into  transiBons  efforts.  New,  low  cost  ways  of  delivering  these.      

Page 6: California Career Advancement Academy · 2019. 2. 20. · Bridging the Great Divide: How Students Can Find their Way from Remediation to a Career Pathway Luis Chavez, Career Ladders

Core  components  of  Career  Pathways  •  Strategic  partnerships  of  employers,  educaBon  and  training  

providers,  community-­‐based  organizaBons,  etc.  in  key  industries  and  occupaBonal  groups.  

•  Mul?ple  ways  to  enter  and  exit  postsecondary  pathways,  with  marketable  credenBals  at  each  step.  (e.g.  high  school,  one-­‐stops,  basic  skills,  colleges).  Especially  important  for  students  in  Bme-­‐limited  workforce  pgrms,  such  as  Veterans,  TANF,  WIA,  EDD,  etc.  

•  Ac?ve  par?cipa?on  by  employers  —  might  be  in  pathway  development,  worksite  training,  internships,  and/or  financial  support  for  worker  learning  —  to  address  regional  workforce  needs  

•  Innova?ons  in  program  content  and  delivery  (e.g  new  technical  cerBficates  and  diplomas,  contextualized  basic  skills,  flexible  class  schedules,  combinaBons  of  online  and  face-­‐to-­‐face  instrucBon).    

•  Support  services,  such  as  career  and  academic  coaching,  financial  aid,  access  to  public  benefits,  etc.  Can  partner  with  CBOs  on  this.
