The leaders of California’s three public postsecondary systems praised the proposal, which is larger than the one Newsom made in January. It includes several large investments in training students to meet the state’s workforce demands.
The plan would invest a one-time $1 billion between 2021-22 and 2022-23 to establish a career development program for the state systems. This initiative would help link campuses with employers, which would provide students with “learning-aligned opportunities” related to their fields of study.
