STUDENT ENROLLMENT

REFLECTION - HOW CAN WE USE DATA

​

​

​

Who is enrolling in these pathways?�

• Which student groups are most represented in each pathway?
• What are the patterns at your institution? What factors might be contributing to these enrollment patterns (e.g., course offerings, advising, scheduling, outreach)?”�

Equity and Access�

• What opportunities exist to strengthen recruitment or outreach for underrepresented groups? What outreach strategies have been most effective at your institution so far?
• How do we reach economically disadvantaged students? ��

​

​

Pass Rates

​

PASS RATES

Please note that some institutions did not report data disaggregated by demographic group. Therefore, total pass rates may not equal pass rates disaggregated by demographics.

REFLECTION - HOW CAN WE USE DATA

​

​

​

What stands out about the differences in pass rates across programs or pathways?

​

• Are pass rates consistent across pathways (engineering/computing vs. healthcare), or is one showing stronger student success? What might be driving any differences at your institution?
• Are there particular courses at your institution that contribute to lower pass rates for the pathway overall?�

Equity and Access

​

• Are some demographic groups (gender, race/ethnicity, economically disadvantaged) passing at lower rates? What supports are in place at your institution to help address gaps?�

​

​

Completion

​

COMPLETION

Number of Students that Earned Degrees or Certificates by Institution Type

​

​

​

​

​

• What factors might explain the decline in community colleges across both pathways?
• What are efforts and supports that could help increase the number of completions through the pathway?

​

​

​

Dual Enrollment

​

Dual Enrollment

​

​

​

​

• Numerous institutions did not offer dual enrollment courses
• Dual enrollment offerings were limited
• Several institutions noted that while current offerings are limited, they are actively working to expand these opportunities.
• Expanding dual enrollment options is a key strategy for strengthening pathway alignment, supporting early college credit attainment, and improving students’ readiness for postsecondary programs in these fields.

​

​

8 K-12

4 Community Colleges

Did Not Offer Dual Enrollment

Work-Based Learning

​

ACTIVITIES

​

​

​

​

• “We were able to develop a unique opportunity for our students to connect with industry partners that allowed them to access projects under the guidance of industry mentors.”
• “Students participated in two industry tours in April 2025, where they explored career pathways and observed how classroom skills apply to real-world. Both tours supported students in connecting industry practices to upcoming hands-on projects.”
• “Students participated observed guest speakers, site tours, Job Shadows, job/ career fairs, resume review, mock interviews.”
• “Students in our Engineering-related pathways had a variety of experiences with work-based learning. They attended career expos, visited worksites of local engineering related employers, and also visited several institutions of higher education offering degrees in engineering.”
• “We hosted a 3 part speaker series for students and their families to learn about types of occupations, and to engage with local employers. Students also had access to career expos, a health career expo, and 8 students had paid, month-long internships in healthcare related settings.”
• “Internship placements include Naval Postgraduate School, UCSC, City of Monterey, County of Monterey, and Joby Aviation”
• Summer 2025 is the first time we are offering internship opportunities. We had 3 students participate; two engineering students and one computer science student. We currently do not have internships with local industry partners but we are working to expand our options.

Moving forward:

• First reporting cycle, and helping institutions refine the definition of the pathway
• Supporting institutions in measuring the activities they have implemented
• Understanding and measuring equity-driven approaches

Qualitative Data Report

Outcomes & Accomplishments

• Hands-on, career-connected learning gained traction
• Earlier exposure and family engagement scaled
• Program alignment and mentoring deepened postsecondary readiness
• Language access and outreach broadened equity
• Administrative capacity and data practices improved

​

Lessons Learned:

Frictions and Remedies

1. Timing and funding delays compress implementation
2. Scheduling/transportation shape equity and turnout
3. Staffing and instructor qualification remain bottlenecks
4. Intersegmental coordination takes intentionality and consistency
5. Data/reporting alignment needs right‑sizing
6. Recruitment and access matter for enrichment
