Golden Opportunities Initiative
We’re redefining how postsecondary value is understood, measured, and communicated—centering equity, lived experience, and outcomes to make postsecondary education a reliable vehicle for economic mobility for all Californians.
Unlocking Economic Mobility for Adult Learners Initiative
We’re meeting adult learners where they are by supporting innovative solutions that make postsecondary education more responsive, flexible, and inclusive, aligned with the realities of work and life—and designed to advance economic mobility.
New Interactive Tool: Adult Learner Exhibit
Nearly half of all California Community College students are 25 or older, yet fewer than one in four complete their credential or transfer within four years. These learners are the heart of California’s communities and workforce. Yet the educational systems they encounter are not built for their realities.
How do we rethink systems to better serve this large and vital learner group? It begins with listening to today’s adult learners to truly understand what they need, what they’re facing and what they want from a postsecondary education.
We invite you into a new interactive space where you can explore the experience of California’s adult learners. Hear their stories and reflections. Share your ideas as we reimagine and rebuild a system that better serves these learners—and California’s future.
