Overview of Vision 2030
Higher education is changing quickly. Today’s students and future learners expect more from their education experience. Communities need a skilled workforce across fast-growing career fields. Addressing rapid disruptions to our climate requires new approaches to our operations and programs. The way we do teaching and learning has been forced to evolve by new circumstances and challenges like the pandemic. We have an opportunity and a responsibility to advance practices that serve the students of today and tomorrow more equitably and efficiently, but we must act now.
- Vision 2030’s actions will use existing and new technology to address gaps and simplify processes that unnecessarily slow students down.
- Vision 2030 continues the long-standing legacy of commitment to actions that care for our communities and planet. Across our 116 colleges and their adjacent locations, we are leaning into strategies that will build the next wave of climate solutions and climate leaders.
- We recognize that many students have learning opportunities that go outside the classroom, which is why Vision 2030 initiates strategic actions that will help students gain credit for prior learning.
- Vision 2030 prioritizes skill-building for jobs that pay living wages while recognizing that a baccalaureate degree is a powerful predictor of higher wages. All Californians must have a viable path to completing a bachelor’s degree if they choose to do so.
This is the second Summit in the Vision 2030 series, showcasing the impact of noncredit education on adult learners. This day-and-a-half noncredit summit will begin with a welcome from the Mayor of Anaheim, a CEO-panel discussion moderated by the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges Dr. Sonya Christian, and a student panel moderated by North Orange County Community College District Chancellor Dr. Byron D. Clift Breland.
Break-out sessions will delve into regulations governing noncredit education, available financial resources, outreach and marketing strategies, data for informed decision-making, and data-reporting requirements. Participants will receive practical information on establishing as well as expanding noncredit programs and services at community college campuses throughout California. Attendees will also learn about innovative and effective noncredit programs designed to meet the needs of local communities.
Intended audience: Campus leadership teams including the CEO, CIO, CSSO, PIO, Research and Planning, and faculty leadership.
