Los Angeles Community College District
California Career Pathways Trust Application
Overview
(www.LARegionalCareerPathways.com)
The Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD) has created the Los Angeles
Regional Career Pathways project, which is one of the largest collaborative models in
the region. It unites community colleges, high schools, Unified School Districts, labor
unions, Workforce Investment Boards, and industry-specific employers so that multiple
educational, economic, community-based, and workforce development resources can
be leveraged and braided to meet the educational needs of local high school and
community college students.
The project focuses on high-demand industry sectors that are projected to grow and
offer job opportunities in the future. It includes over $1,700,000 of in-kind/matched
resources and will expand the Career Pathways Trust funding to serve over 6,000
participants. LACCD’s nine (9) community colleges and 20 local high schools will work
with other project stakeholders to update articulation agreements and develop multiple
career pathway options that will prepare high school and college students for goodpaying jobs and careers. This regional consortium project will work with over 95
employers to offer over 1,800 internship opportunities that allow students to get firsthand exposure to the world of work.
The Los Angeles Regional Career Pathways project complements the AB 86 Adult
Education reform and planning grant, which LACCD leads a regional collaboration that
includes local Unified School Districts.
