Take Action: Help Shape California’s C2C Data System — Sign On Today!
The Cradle-to-Career Data System’s (C2C) Workforce Data Expansion Task Force concluded its scheduled meetings and posted final recommendations to expand the P20W data list. Our public comment letter emphasizes the need for detailed, inclusive data that accurately represents individuals participating in workforce training — a critical step toward identifying and addressing equity gaps.
We continue to uplift the importance of additional data points such as identifying Opportunity Youth, including adult education and adult dual enrollment, and incorporating flexible learning models like competency-based education and credit for prior learning.
Join us in expressing support for enhancements to ensure the data system truly supports underserved communities and aligns education pathways with real labor market demands.
