Sacramento K-16 Collaborative

As highlighted by EdSource, the Sacramento K16 Collaborative has launched a pioneering data-sharing partnership linking K-12 schools, community colleges, and universities like California State University-Sacramento and University of California, Davis. This initiative will create streamlined pathways from education to high-demand careers, ensuring students—especially from underserved backgrounds—are better prepared for success in fields like healthcare, engineering, and computer science.

Congrats to the whole CSUS team on this encouraging trajectory.

Reflecting on an Inspiring CAFwd Economic Summit in Sacramento Last week, our Capitol Impact team had the honor of attending the California Forward Economic Summit right here in Sacramento! It was a fantastic opportunity to connect, learn, and share ideas on how to drive equitable economic growth in California. ?? The highlight for us? A K16 and California Jobs First session we organized and co-led with Valley Vision, where we shared how the Sacramento K-16 Collaborative and We Prosper Together are working together to strengthen career pathways and our regional workforce. We were thrilled to have Derek Kirk, M.A. from California Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) and Michael Wiafe, MPP from the Governor’s office join us as speakers, along with Chancellor Brian King of Los Rios Community College District, Alex Taghavian of Capitol Impact, Evan Schmidt of Valley Vision, Alysia Bell of UNITE-LA, and Jermaine Hampton of Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC). Other memorable moments included: ?? A surprise speech by Governor Gavin Newsom, where he gave a special shout-out to the K16 Collaboratives grant program. ?? An inspiring talk led by Chet P. Hewitt, 1300 Campaign Chair and Sacramento K-16 Collaborative Executive Committee member, alongside Eloy Oakley of College Futures Foundation, highlighting the pivotal role of community colleges in shaping our workforce and economy. We were energized by the message that community colleges are truly the heart of California’s workforce, and there’s a clear call to make the ROI of higher education more transparent. We’re grateful for the opportunity to collaborate and share our work, and we're excited to continue building a stronger, more inclusive economy for all Californians. #CAFwdSummit #WorkforceDevelopment #SacramentoK16 #EconomicGrowth #WeProsperTogether #CommunityColleges #CapitolImpact?
