Connecting Correctional Education to Career Pathways

WestEd Senior Project Manager Alex Lozanoff discusses how colleges can redesign worker-centered career pathways that are grounded in labor market needs, in-demand skills, and students’ real lives.

Colleges gather vast amounts of data but often struggle to turn those data into actionable insights. DataVista provides California community colleges with a shared view of key metrics, helping turn data into better decision-making and student outcomes.

In this recorded webinar, WestEd and the Charles A. Dana Center introduce Integrated Statistics and Quantitative Reasoning (ISQR), a new high school course that helps students apply mathematics to authentic questions while building skills that support college, career, and civic life.

How can education and workforce systems create stronger pathways to economic mobility? In this Leading Voices episode, WestEd’s Kathy Booth and Randy Tillery discuss strategies for connecting adult learners to credentials, careers, and long-term success.

Workforce initiatives often focus on training and credentials, but they sometimes overlook whether jobs support economic mobility. John Brauer, Director of Workforce and Economic Development Projects at WestEd, offers a framework for workforce systems and employers to enhance wages, benefits, scheduling, worker voice, and advancement.

Adult education can be a powerful pathway to economic mobility. In this Q&A, Meghan McBride, Director of Adult Education Projects at WestEd, discusses how programs, partnerships, and workforce connections help adult learners gain skills, pursue opportunities, and achieve their goals.
