Developers have long complained that without a permanent statewide source of funding, financing affordable housing will continue to be convoluted and inefficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many affordable housing developers relied on two multibillion-dollar bond measures to fund their projects — a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12000157/bay-areas-20-billion-housing-bond-pulled-from-ballots-leaving-advocates-heartbroken\">$20 billion Bay Area-wide bond\u003c/a> and a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11993185/why-a-10-billion-california-housing-bond-wont-be-on-novembers-ballot\">$10 billion statewide bond\u003c/a>.

Though EAH’s proposal was not ultimately chosen, the nonprofit is interested in submitting proposals for other sites in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as construction costs soar and demand grows, it only becomes more expensive to build, Jordan said. He hopes the state can dedicate more subsidies to actually build affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s never enough,” Jordan said. “While every little bit helps, and you don’t want to sound ungrateful, you really need a permanent source at the state level for affordable housing, and that hasn’t happened quite yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are 26 excess sites the state identified as suitable for housing that have not yet been offered to developers. Some are in high-fire risk zones, regulatory floodways, or on steep slopes. Others are within a quarter-mile of hazardous waste sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tara Gallegos, a spokesperson for the governor’s office, said all of those parcels are “gearing up for development.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfZ-ZKtuSHdeWqxooQwfEcr-oiOpdpJcf2RLZInU7aqjjQlRQ/viewform?embedded=true\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

After a blow to their efforts in 2023, the proponents of SB1016, also known as the Latino and Indigenous Disparities Reduction Act, are now celebrating — Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the bill into law on Sept. 28.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>The Latino and Indigenous Disparities Reduction Act passed both chambers of the California State Legislature with overwhelming support in August. Now, with Gov. Newsom’s sign-off, the California Department of Public Health will begin distinguishing Mesoamerican Indigenous groups in health data about Latinos. Indigenous peoples from Latin America are typically lumped into government data about Latinos, although many do not identify as Latinos themselves. \u003ca href=\"https://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/145891467991974540/pdf/Indigenous-Latin-America-in-the-twenty-first-century-the-first-decade.pdf\">The World Bank\u003c/a> estimates there are 780 indigenous peoples and 560 indigenous languages spoken in Latin America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Public Health will include 10 nationalities and six languages in data collection and will leave a blank space in surveys for people to fill out additional demographic information. The agency will have five years to produce a report that includes rates for major diseases, leading causes of death, and information about pregnancy, housing, and mental health. Then, the department will begin issuing annual reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Latinos and Indigenous Mesoamericans are vibrant and diverse communities, each with unique health needs,” said State Sen. Lena Gonzalez, a Democrat from Los Angeles and the bill’s sponsor, in a public statement. “Every Latino deserves to be seen, heard, and represented in our healthcare system, especially in the data that drives resource allocation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proponents of the law call this a first step in addressing health disparities, which exist in Mesoamerican indigenous communities throughout California but are not well studied. Accurate data on the population size of indigenous peoples in California is also sparse — one advocacy group, the Mixteco/Indigena Community Organizing Project, \u003ca href=\"https://mixteco.org/mixtec/#:~:text=California%20is%20home%20to%20an,Mixtecs%2C%20Zapotecs%2C%20and%20Pur%C3%A9pechas.\">estimates\u003c/a> there are more than 170,000 indigenous people in California who originate from Mexico alone.

The duo attempted to pass a similar bill last year, which would have required two different agencies to collect data. That bill also passed with overwhelming support in both legislative chambers but was vetoed by Gov.

However, Aquino believes that the estimate is too high, considering that the agency has already established a data disaggregation process for the state’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/OPP/Pages/AB-1726-Asian-and-Pacific-Islander-Data-Disaggregation.aspx\">Asian and Pacific Islander population\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an emailed statement, a California Department of Public Health spokesperson said the agency was “looking forward” to implementing the new law“to continue to improve the health and welfare of the people from these communities.” The department did not confirm the estimated cost when asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those who work closely with indigenous communities, the potential cost is a small tradeoff for improved health care among a growing and often overlooked population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeronimo, for example, said he recently worked with an indigenous patient who was diagnosed with cancer in 2021 and had been receiving complicated information regarding his diagnosis and treatment in Spanish despite Mayan Mam being his primary language.

After a blow to their efforts in 2023, the proponents of SB1016, also known as the Latino and Indigenous Disparities Reduction Act, are now celebrating — Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the bill into law on Sept. 28.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>The Latino and Indigenous Disparities Reduction Act passed both chambers of the California State Legislature with overwhelming support in August. Now, with Gov. Newsom’s sign-off, the California Department of Public Health will begin distinguishing Mesoamerican Indigenous groups in health data about Latinos. Indigenous peoples from Latin America are typically lumped into government data about Latinos, although many do not identify as Latinos themselves. \u003ca href=\"https://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/145891467991974540/pdf/Indigenous-Latin-America-in-the-twenty-first-century-the-first-decade.pdf\">The World Bank\u003c/a> estimates there are 780 indigenous peoples and 560 indigenous languages spoken in Latin America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Public Health will include 10 nationalities and six languages in data collection and will leave a blank space in surveys for people to fill out additional demographic information. The agency will have five years to produce a report that includes rates for major diseases, leading causes of death, and information about pregnancy, housing, and mental health. Then, the department will begin issuing annual reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Latinos and Indigenous Mesoamericans are vibrant and diverse communities, each with unique health needs,” said State Sen. Lena Gonzalez, a Democrat from Los Angeles and the bill’s sponsor, in a public statement. “Every Latino deserves to be seen, heard, and represented in our healthcare system, especially in the data that drives resource allocation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proponents of the law call this a first step in addressing health disparities, which exist in Mesoamerican indigenous communities throughout California but are not well studied. Accurate data on the population size of indigenous peoples in California is also sparse — one advocacy group, the Mixteco/Indigena Community Organizing Project, \u003ca href=\"https://mixteco.org/mixtec/#:~:text=California%20is%20home%20to%20an,Mixtecs%2C%20Zapotecs%2C%20and%20Pur%C3%A9pechas.\">estimates\u003c/a> there are more than 170,000 indigenous people in California who originate from Mexico alone.

It will affect the 21 nonprofit “regional centers” across the state that manage the developmental disability system’s $15 billion annual budget to coordinate services for people with conditions such as autism, Down syndrome and cerebral palsy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation is part of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2024/09/28/governor-newsom-signs-legislation-to-strengthen-support-opportunities-and-safety-for-californians-with-disabilities/\">broader package\u003c/a> signed by the governor that’s aimed at supporting Californians with disabilities, including stronger protections for disabled students.

Amy Westling, executive director of the Association of Regional Center Agencies (ARCA), said that with the bill’s passage, regional centers are now “evaluating the operational changes required and assessing new statewide training needs to comply with the PRA and other elements of AB 1147.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added that most information related to regional center operations is already available from each regional center’s website and through existing Public Records Act requests to the state Department of Developmental Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vivian Haun, a senior policy attorney for Disability Rights California, explained that the Lanterman Act originally established regional centers as independent nonprofit organizations to maximize their responsiveness to the communities they serve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a result, regional centers have been given tremendous discretion in how they spend state funds,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haun added that for the centers to fulfill their original mission, it is critical for people with developmental disabilities to “feel seen, heard and understood by their regional centers.” But, she said, “that’s hard to achieve when people don’t have fair and open access to information about the policies and practices that gatekeep some of the most crucial services in their lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11969597/whistleblowers-call-out-california-group-home-for-abuse-against-disabled-residents\">KQED published an investigation of\u003c/a> abuse allegations at a disability group home in the Sacramento area that fell within the jurisdiction of the Alta Regional Center. The investigation found that Katrina Turner, a nonverbal woman with a developmental disability, had suffered repeated incidents of abuse and neglect over roughly 18 months. At the time, information about how the regional center investigated the alleged incidents was not publicly available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elaine Sheffer and Patrick Turner, Katrina Turner’s parents, said the new bill is an important first step in addressing what they consider the system’s failings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think that AB 1147 is definitely a good start in the right direction to transparency and accountability in an industry where it’s been desperately needed and denied to families who oftentimes have not even been made aware that they have rights,” they said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>This story was made possible in part with funding and support from the USC Center for Health Journalism’s Data Fellowship.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\n",

At the time, information about how the regional center investigated the alleged incidents was not publicly available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elaine Sheffer and Patrick Turner, Katrina Turner’s parents, said the new bill is an important first step in addressing what they consider the system’s failings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think that AB 1147 is definitely a good start in the right direction to transparency and accountability in an industry where it’s been desperately needed and denied to families who oftentimes have not even been made aware that they have rights,” they said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>This story was made possible in part with funding and support from the USC Center for Health Journalism’s Data Fellowship.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Gavin Newsom has vetoed a bill that would have required most passenger vehicles sold in California to have additional passive intelligent speed assistance systems to alert drivers when they go 10 miles per hour or more over the speed limit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco pedestrian advocates had been ramping up pressure on Newsom to sign the state bill, saying it would have helped reduce traffic-related deaths and serious injuries in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The calls for Newsom to sign the bill, authored by state Sen. Scott Wiener of San Francisco, intensified after two pedestrians were killed on Lombard St. in just the last two weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walk SF’s Marta Lindsey said that, despite the efforts by officials to curtail traffic-related fatalities, the data speaks for itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are dealing with a multi-headed beast,” Lindsey said. “How our streets are designed is so important in terms of how drivers behave, and so in the last 10 years, the city has been doing a lot of the right things, but it hasn’t happened at the scale or the number of layers needed to address the fact that the threat has risen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The rise in road deaths in California is a completely preventable tragedy,” Wiener said in a statement. “The evidence is clear: Rising levels of dangerous speeding are placing all Californians in danger, and by taking prudent steps to improve safety, we can save lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Police are still pursuing their \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10413631/san-francisco-fire-department-signs-on-to-vision-zero-pedestrian-safety-plan\">Vision Zero \u003c/a>goal, six months after the deadline that the city set in its 2014 initiative to reduce citywide traffic-related deaths to zero within 10 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"pedestrian-safety\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But San Francisco has seemingly made little consistent progress on that front: \u003ca href=\"https://www.sf.gov/data/traffic-fatalities#traffic-fatalities\">39 pedestrians \u003c/a>were killed in 2022 alone, the deadliest year for traffic-related fatalities since 2007.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the city’s Department of Public Health has already reported 23 traffic fatalities so far this year, exceeding the 22 recorded in all of 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>William Riggs, a USCF professor who focuses on mobility and transportation issues, believes that educating the public in simple terms is an often overlooked piece of the Vision Zero puzzle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we consider Vision Zero, I think we forget substantive components about how we influence not only drivers but bicyclists and pedestrians to be responsible roadway users,” Riggs said. He points to a unique approach that San Francisco police took last week when an officer donned an inflatable chicken suit and crossed the road at the intersection of Alemany Boulevard and Rousseau Street in the city’s Excelsior neighborhood, where a 76-year-old man \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/pedestrian-dies-hit-and-run-s-f-18690047.php\"> was killed in a hit-and-run earlier this year.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drivers who didn’t stop for the officer in the chicken suit were immediately flagged by other officers standing by and issued citations for failing to yield to a pedestrian. A video of the chicken exercise was \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/collinrugg/status/1837639499247178090?s=12\"> posted on X\u003c/a>, drawing about 6 million views.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are many different kinds of educational frames we can put on what is happening on the roadway that don’t involve planner speak or engineering speak,” Riggs said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a formal veto request letter to Newsom, the California Senate Republican Caucus called SB 961 “overly prescriptive” and said that “the real focus should be on increasing law enforcement presence in our communities and appropriately punishing those who blatantly disregard traffic laws.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Cathy Chase, the president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, which supported the bill, said, “We need to flip the script and think about how many people are being killed on our roadways — preventably — when we have solutions at hand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added, “We need a multipronged approach where there is more effective law enforcement of traffic safety violations, and also the use of available technology to slow cars down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lindsey, of Walk SF, said she was not at all surprised about pushback against the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They fought seatbelts, by the way, they fought windshield wipers, they fought airbags, they fought the rearview cameras,” she said, referring to the auto industry and anti-regulatory lawmakers. “They fight all of this stuff.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>The town of Reedley has about 25,000 people — and five different public institutions that offer career education to its residents. There’s the high school, the adult school, the community college, the job center and the regional occupational program. In some cases, they work together to teach skills, such as welding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other times, they compete for the same students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/hearings/258242\">a hearing\u003c/a> last month, California Assemblymember \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/legislators/al-muratsuchi-34399\">Al Muratsuchi\u003c/a>, a Democrat from Torrance, said that he worries some workforce programs are becoming increasingly “Balkanized” despite numerous efforts to promote collaboration. Gov. Gavin Newsom said he’ll help unify these programs by creating \u003ca href=\"https://careereducation.gov.ca.gov/\">a Master Plan for Career Education\u003c/a>. State agencies are required to create the plan by Oct. 1, though Newsom hasn’t said when he’ll release it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Reedley College in rural Fresno County, Dean of Instruction David Clark acknowledged that some programs compete — in other parts of the state — but said that in this small town, that issue is less relevant. “In Fresno, you might flip someone off and never see them again, but here, that’s your neighbor,” said Clark. Instead, he said, local workforce leaders in Reedley have close personal relationships with one another and collaborate frequently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s more, he said that each institution serves a different population: Historically, community colleges focused on high school graduates, providing them with vocational training or a pathway to a four-year university. Adult schools offered short-term courses, such as English as a second language, often to immigrants and older adults. Regional occupational programs arose as a way to help high schools consolidate and coordinate expensive career training classes. Job centers were a place for adults to get help finding work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To some extent, that’s all still true, but over the past few decades, the lines have blurred. High school students are taking college-level classes at growing rates. More than 40% of community college students in California are 25 and older, according to data from the Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office, and the system is investing \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2023/09/community-college-enrollment-3/#:~:text=Losing%20the%20%E2%80%98drive%E2%80%99%20for%20community%20college\">in short-term classes\u003c/a> that rival the courses at many adult schools.

She said the “current budgetary conditions” — namely, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/california-budget-whiplash/\">two years of multibillion-dollar deficits\u003c/a> — “call us to work together more effectively.” The office refused to speak to CalMatters in an on-the-record interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the hearing, Muratsuchi said he’s skeptical that the governor’s new plan will yield substantive changes to this convoluted system. “These are the same agencies that have failed to collaborate,” he said. “Why do we expect different results?”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Redundancy’ in Reedley\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Clark has lived in Reedley for 35 years, and as he walks around the community college campus, he shares the town lore with pride. In 2002, the town voted against the construction of a Walmart. The town doesn’t have a movie theater or a mall either, he said. “People have tried to maintain that Norman Rockwell lifestyle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It doesn’t always reflect reality — Walmart, for instance, built a location just 5 miles away, in the town next door — but Clark said that Reedley is still more vibrant than some of the other rural towns in the Central Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reason is agriculture: It’s the “world’s fruit basket,” according to the town’s chamber of commerce. Reedley specializes in growing and shipping stone fruit such as peaches, plums and nectarines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12005744\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1536px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12005744\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091124-Reedley-class-and-Work-Center-LV_01-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091124-Reedley-class-and-Work-Center-LV_01-copy.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091124-Reedley-class-and-Work-Center-LV_01-copy-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091124-Reedley-class-and-Work-Center-LV_01-copy-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091124-Reedley-class-and-Work-Center-LV_01-copy-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students measure part of a tractor engine in their agricultural mechanics class at Reedley College. \u003ccite>(Larry Valenzuela/CalMatters/CatchLight Local)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For the roughly 7,500 Reedley College students taking a career technical education class, the most popular programs are in agriculture and manufacturing, which overlap considerably, said Clark. Classes in health care, such as those for nursing assistants, are another common path, especially for women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a series of large classrooms, each one as big as a warehouse, college students learn how to repair tractor engines, how to weld the pieces of a truck bed, and how to create the metal pieces used in food packaging machines.

In June, state leaders announced \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2024/06/high-school-diploma/\">a policy change\u003c/a> meant to draw adults without high school degrees toward college. Since the start of the pandemic, community colleges have spent \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2023/08/california-community-colleges-2/\">millions of dollars recruiting older adults\u003c/a> by offering shorter classes and career-oriented programs — sometimes reaching out directly to farmworkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Five different entities competing for students and money\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Community colleges and adult schools have long competed for students. In the 1990s, the issue came to the fore when six Southern California school districts \u003ca href=\"https://casetext.com/case/orange-unified-sch-v-rancho-santiago-comm-col\">sued their local community colleges\u003c/a>, saying that the colleges had overstepped their boundaries by teaching certain classes, such as high school equivalency courses or English as a second language. The judge found that both systems had a right to teach these classes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit is emblematic of long-standing duplication and conflict in adult education: \u003ca href=\"https://www.lao.ca.gov/reports/2012/edu/adult-education/restructuring-adult-education-120412.aspx\">A 2012 report\u003c/a> by California’s Legislative Analyst’s Office found “inconsistent state-level policies” and a “widespread lack of coordination.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_12005655,news_11975890,news_11997534\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar competition exists between K–12 school districts and regional occupational programs. California created the regional occupational programs in the 1970s as a way to consolidate career training across school districts. However, the school districts aren’t required to collaborate with the occupational programs, and in some cases, districts launch their own career technical classes instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal government also invests in career education. Some of the money goes directly to community colleges and K–12 school districts, but the largest allocation goes toward California’s 45 workforce development boards, which operate the state’s nearly 180 job centers. For years, these centers helped lower-income adults, unemployed adults, and certain youth find jobs, but \u003ca href=\"https://cwdb.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/43/2022/09/AJCC-Evaluation-Report_FINAL_ACCESSIBLE.pdf#page=10\">research shows (PDF)\u003c/a> that sending a person back to school can yield better long-term results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, job centers provide many students with tuition subsidies or cash to help cover daily expenses, such as rent and transportation, during school. Last month, a CalMatters investigation of job centers across the state found that roughly half of those subsidies \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2024/08/job-training-california-for-profit-schools/\">went to for-profit trade schools\u003c/a>, even when community colleges offered free or low-cost courses nearby. In some cases, graduates of these trade schools \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2024/08/for-profit-schools-california-jobs/\">earned less than $30,000 a year\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the eastern half of Fresno County, which includes Reedley, 16 students received a tuition subsidy in the past year to study agriculture, either through a welding or heavy equipment program, according to the Fresno Regional Workforce Development Board. Some attended Lofaro’s regional occupational programs, while others attended Advanced Career Institute and the Institute of Technology, two local for-profit institutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12005722\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1536px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12005722\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091124-Reedley-class-and-Work-Center-LV_12-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091124-Reedley-class-and-Work-Center-LV_12-copy.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091124-Reedley-class-and-Work-Center-LV_12-copy-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091124-Reedley-class-and-Work-Center-LV_12-copy-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091124-Reedley-class-and-Work-Center-LV_12-copy-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Student Felix Nevarez welding a piece of metal during a class. \u003ccite>(Larry Valenzuela/CalMatters/CatchLight Local)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Fernanda Mendoza, a program coordinator at the job center closest to Reedley, said she recommends the private programs over the public ones because the for-profit schools provide students with “more of that one-on-one interaction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A hodgepodge of job training options creates barriers for students\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Over the past decade, state leaders have tried to revamp the career training system to foster collaboration.

Instead, he said, local workforce leaders in Reedley have close personal relationships with one another and collaborate frequently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s more, he said that each institution serves a different population: Historically, community colleges focused on high school graduates, providing them with vocational training or a pathway to a four-year university. Adult schools offered short-term courses, such as English as a second language, often to immigrants and older adults. Regional occupational programs arose as a way to help high schools consolidate and coordinate expensive career training classes. Job centers were a place for adults to get help finding work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To some extent, that’s all still true, but over the past few decades, the lines have blurred.

In June, state leaders announced \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2024/06/high-school-diploma/\">a policy change\u003c/a> meant to draw adults without high school degrees toward college. Since the start of the pandemic, community colleges have spent \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2023/08/california-community-colleges-2/\">millions of dollars recruiting older adults\u003c/a> by offering shorter classes and career-oriented programs — sometimes reaching out directly to farmworkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Five different entities competing for students and money\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Community colleges and adult schools have long competed for students.

California created the regional occupational programs in the 1970s as a way to consolidate career training across school districts. However, the school districts aren’t required to collaborate with the occupational programs, and in some cases, districts launch their own career technical classes instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal government also invests in career education. Some of the money goes directly to community colleges and K–12 school districts, but the largest allocation goes toward California’s 45 workforce development boards, which operate the state’s nearly 180 job centers. For years, these centers helped lower-income adults, unemployed adults, and certain youth find jobs, but \u003ca href=\"https://cwdb.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/43/2022/09/AJCC-Evaluation-Report_FINAL_ACCESSIBLE.pdf#page=10\">research shows (PDF)\u003c/a> that sending a person back to school can yield better long-term results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, job centers provide many students with tuition subsidies or cash to help cover daily expenses, such as rent and transportation, during school. Last month, a CalMatters investigation of job centers across the state found that roughly half of those subsidies \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2024/08/job-training-california-for-profit-schools/\">went to for-profit trade schools\u003c/a>, even when community colleges offered free or low-cost courses nearby. In some cases, graduates of these trade schools \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2024/08/for-profit-schools-california-jobs/\">earned less than $30,000 a year\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the eastern half of Fresno County, which includes Reedley, 16 students received a tuition subsidy in the past year to study agriculture, either through a welding or heavy equipment program, according to the Fresno Regional Workforce Development Board.
