2021-2022 Regional Strong Workforce Projects
LA career Pathways Partnership 2021-2022 Plan- Colleen Mckinley
Since the inception of this project, data has been collected by each Career Pathways Specialist and reported to the Project Lead. Beginning in 2017, 11,299 students received credit for college classes while in high school, either through Credit by Exam or Dual Enrollment classes. Extensive efforts were launched to put in place better data collection tools as well as to expand outreach to high school students. Data collected included the number of students served as well as the number of students who earned credit. The number of students served increased to 50,885 students in 2020, with 50,304 students earning college credit. Recognizing the need to provide student success strategies, each college has encouraged partnering with the Guided Pathways Initiative. In September of 2021, feeling the full impact of the pandemic, the number dropped to 30,727 students who were enrolled in college classes and 28,399 earned college credit. The workplan commits to an increase of 10 percent of students served as well as continued focus on student success strategies.
LA Noncredit Career Pathways 2021-2022 Plan- Graciela Vasquez
Based that number on how many students completed a noncredit CTE or workforce preparation course in 2019-2020 and added a 2% increase to that number. Our goal for this project is to reengage noncredit CTE students in the Los Angeles region after the COVID-19. At this point in the pandemic, it is still an ongoing effort. Many partner colleges still have large enrollment decreases, but we are hoping to have at least 2% more enrollments and noncredit milestones by the end of the project round.
La marketing ccla-19- Nick real
Since its inception, the CCLA regional marketing campaign has generated 10,534 leads. 4,903 of those leads have been contacted via phone call and/or email. 1,968 of the leads have been qualified as ready to enroll at a community college. A total of 1,187 of these students enrolled in one of the 19 CCLA community colleges from Fall 2020 – Spring 2021. A comprehensive social media marketing campaign for the CCLA brand and the LA19 requires an annual investment to effectively and efficiently drive its four primary operational goals:
- Drive awareness of CCLA open-access institutions, career education programs and career opportunities.
- Generate leads who are qualified and interested in learning more.
- Optimize marketing messaging and overall process to target and capture the targeted audiences with a coordinated approach.
- Grow enrollment for career education programs across the LA19.
LA faculty innovation hub- Andrew Maz
Collective Impact has been shown to deliver a more powerful and realistic paradigm for social progress than the traditional isolated impact model where organizations work independently to address social problems. It seeks to find new ways to do more with less resources. Investments will be made in three ways to improve performance in regional metrics: 1) Faculty stipends for faculty working regionally on curriculum development and alignment; 2) Capacity building via faculty convenings; and 3) Leveraging matching investments.
