Creating Clear and Consistent Pathways
California Career Advancement Academy
The Career Ladders Project
CAREER LADDERS PROJECT Fosters educational and career advancement through research, policy initiatives and direct assistance to community colleges and their partners.
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.
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.

Jill Gurvey, Director of Research
The CAA Program and Findings from the 2011-12 Academic Year
Who are CAA students?
Students § 8000 students to-date § 1888 students in 2011-12 § Diverse: 52% Latino and
12% AA students (36% and 7% for CA college system)
§ High financial need: 49% known to qualify for BOG waivers
Progress in one year § 76% completed all
attempted courses § 69% term to term
persistence § 34% certificate § 5% transfer or AA
CAA Program Goals
§ 98% prep for new career § 87% earn a certificate § 85% improve basic skills § 85% gain confidence succeed in college § 79% acquire work readiness skills § 70% find a job placement § 58% obtain associate’s degree § 26% transfer to a 4 year institution
What makes a CAA?
◦ Flexible framework ◦ Institutional change ◦ Employer and community
partnerships ◦ Learning Community
◦ Industry responsive technical training/relevant certificates ◦ Contextualized basic skills ◦ Student cohorts ◦ Transitions support ◦ Intensive student support

Where we are now
• Higher leveraging of internal resources (apportionment, counseling, partnerships) to maximize sustainability
• Have a single college adopt EBCAA as a foundational structure for engaging students who typically do not succeed (Scale)
• Want to do a comprehensive ROI analysis of cost of CAA verses cost of churn and burn dynamic for CAA profile students
Where we want to be
