May 15 - Master Plan for Career Education Regional Meeting Interest Form: Virtual Session

# data[].attributes.body
How would you improve economic mobility in California?

The leaders of California’s education and workforce agencies--working with employers, labor, and community partners--are developing a set of big ideas for creating more equitable access to living wage, fulfilling work. They need your input to identify specific changes that are needed to policies and practice so that we can open up opportunity for more Californians.

This collaborative effort will result in a new Master Plan for Career Education.

On May 15th at 12-1:30pm PST, the Governor's Office, in collaboration with WestEd, will be hosting a day-long, interactive design session via Zoom, where you can share your ideas about ways to:

Create state and regional coordinating bodies that make it easier to access information, funding, and support

Align K-12, postsecondary, and workforce training opportunities so it is easier to build skills in a variety of settings

Create incentives and improve coordination so that more people can participate in hands-on learning

Make it easier to access public benefits so that learners can afford to participate in education and training

The design session will be structured so that you can identify how your day-to-day experience could be better addressed by state and regional policies, particularly for:

people who work in K12, adult schools, and colleges

people who work for workforce and economic development training providers

employers

labor representatives

community-based and advocacy organizations that represent populations such as opportunity youth, first generation students, adult learners, people with disabilities, immigrants, and other disadvantaged and underinvested populations

technical assistance providers

students and families

Please note: this form indicates your interest in being a participant in the design session. However, submission of this form does not guarantee confirmed registration for the event, given that we have a limited number of seats.

Interest form submissions will undergo a review process to ensure that we have representation from the various types of interest holders listed above.

Two weeks before the event, a link to the registration will be emailed to confirm participation. If you are unable to join the event, you can still contribute your thoughts, by submitting your written recommendation or requesting a meeting with a Governor's Office representative here:

FAFSA

2024–25 FAFSA/CADAA: UC priority filing deadline

The redesigned 2024–25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and California Dream Act Application (CADAA) are now available to students. Last year, 44% of graduating high school seniors around the country didn't fill out a FAFSA form, leaving nearly $3.6 billion in free college grant aid unclaimed. Be sure to share with your students why it's important to file a FAFSA or California Dream Act Application to get help paying for college.

In order for students to get their financial aid packages shortly after an offer of admission, UC encourages students to file their FAFSA or California Dream Act Application by March 2, 2024 even though the state deadline has been extended to April 2, 2024. UC will consider California students for all eligible financial aid based on the extended deadline.

Students can learn more about applying for financial aid on the UC admissions website.

Note: All apps will be accepted based on the extended deadline.

April 16 - The Budget Center's Annual Conference. 

# data[].attributes.body
Despite a looming budget shortfall, California is still home to considerable wealth, providing an opportunity to ensure that every resident has a roof over their head, access to food, and a safety net to fall on.

It’s time for real solutions that prioritize the well-being of Californians and their families, not budget cuts. We must make the case for bold solutions that prioritize the health and well-being of our people. This includes crafting and calling out antiracist policies, centering Black, brown, and other historically underrepresented voices, and ending discriminatory practices of the past once and for all.

Join us at the California Budget & Policy Center’s annual conference — Policy Insights — where we bring together the state’s policy community to share transformative ideas and strategize about our pathways toward creating a more inclusive state. Together, we can develop effective public policies that build a government of care, work towards ending poverty and inequality, and create opportunity in California. We invite you to be part of this journey!
