Units are awarded based on the achievement of specific, measurable, college-level learning objectives
CA Ed Code, Title 5, section 55254 defines CWE ‘Learning’ as:

Learning
opportunities beyond those experienced during previous employment and… The experience contributes to their occupational or educational goals.Slide6
