Working learners know what they want. It’s time the system helped them get there.

Imagine a California where every learner has a pathway to pursue their goals and the support to succeed. Where learning is valued no matter where it happens, credentials lead to real opportunity and upward mobility, and education is designed around the realities of people’s lives. Where every California learner has the agency to author their own life.

Working learners are already powering California’s economy and shaping its future. Their experiences can show us what it takes to make that vision a reality—and where postsecondary education needs to change.
