Why we need alignment
The Bay Area needs a larger local talent pipeline and young people in the region need support in attaining family-sustaining incomes.
Business, community and education organizations are not coordinated together in building and growing a regional college and career readiness system.
The strategies and approaches that are in place around college and career readiness are not aligned nor able to scale.
what we've achieved
Over 18,000
Students matched to tech work-based learning experiences from employer panels to internships last year.
