Mark your calendar for #GivingTuesday and make a lasting impact! This year, we’re highlighting the @californiacommunitycolleges Student Ambassador Program, where student leaders connect their low-income classmates with critical resources like food and housing support. Nearly two-thirds of California Community College students struggle with food or housing insecurities, challenges that can derail their education and future. Student Ambassadors are stepping up to lead the way, creating life-changing connections to critical resources and support. Your gift can empower these efforts, ensuring more students get the support they need to succeed. Together, we can make a difference! Join us in making an impact this Giving Tuesday! https://lnkd.in/giYAmHMr #FoundationCCC #CCCStudentAmbassador #GivingTuesday #CaCommColleges

The California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office highlights an ongoing collaboration with UDW / AFSCME Local 3930 to create seamless educational pathways for the union's 91,000 members and their families. This is what #Vision2030 looks like in action – breaking barriers and building bridges to opportunity! Meet Steve Chika, a California Community College student who is transitioning from long-time caregiving to a promising career in automotive technology.

PRESS RELEASE: California Community Colleges Celebrates Apprenticeship Week. The California Community Colleges recognizes this week, Nov. 17th through the 23rd, as the 10th anniversary of National Apprenticeship Week by “Celebrating 10 Years of Engagement, Expansion and Innovation.” Apprenticeship programs offer a unique blend of hands-on training and classroom learning, providing learners with valuable skills and hands-on experience to prepare them for future careers. The California Community Colleges is the largest workforce development and training system in the nation and uniquely positioned to create, pilot and expand apprenticeships across many different career pathways, including nursing, manufacturing and information and agricultural technologies. The system is playing a crucial role in Gov. Newsom’s goal of training 500,000 apprentices by 2029. To date, 94,000 registered apprentices and 2,200 registered pre-apprentices have stepped foot on one of our 116 California community colleges. This is about 20% of the goal. “While we celebrate this milestone, we continue to identify student-centered approaches to learning and skills preparation. Through the California Apprenticeship Initiative, the New and Innovative Pre-Apprenticeship and Apprenticeship Grant Programs and the California Opportunity Youth Apprenticeship Grant, among others, we are removing barriers and facilitating access to jobs in high-growth, high-demand industries,” said California Community Colleges Chancellor Sonya Christian.
