WHY THIS WORK IS IMPORTANT

Ongoing awareness and fiscal commitment to career education is a foundational tenet of CCCAOE. Through establishing a legislative agenda for meeting California’s broad career training needs, CCCAOE seeks to create open lines of communication with local, state, and federal staff, policy analysts, and legislators regarding the importance of continued funding and support for career pathways that decrease the middle-skills job gap.
