3. DescriptionThe California Community College mission codified in section 66010.4 of the California Education Code includes both “academic and vocational instruction”. State policies since 2010 have mostly focused on transforming transfer in California community colleges and directing more resources to clarify, support, and strengthen transfer pathways. How has this impacted student and workforce needs? Is the mission of the California community colleges at risk? Join us to hear about the direction of the California Community College mission and strategies to ensure that a focus on all students remains ‘mission still possible’ in the California community colleges.3

4. Today’s ObjectivesClarify the Mission of the California Community College system: CA Ed Code section 66010.4 regarding “academic and vocational instruction”. Review major legislative mandates since 2010 impacting the California community collegesConsider the impact of recent legislation on career education (or vocational) pathways Affirm the critical rationale for CTE in California Community College missionPromote strategies that ensure that career education remains ‘mission possible’ in the California community colleges.
