Vision 2030: A Roadmap for California Community Colleges is a strategic plan focused on ensuring equitable access, support, and success for all Californians in higher education. Key areas of focus include expanding dual enrollment pathways, providing credit for prior learning, bringing workforce training to underserved communities, and implementing strategies outlined in the system's Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Plan. The plan aims to increase attainment among existing students and reach the 6.8 million Californians with high school diplomas but no postsecondary credentials. Outcomes include increased completion rates, baccalaureate attainment (through transfers and community college baccalaureate programs), improved workforce outcomes (living wages), expanded student participation (especially among underserved populations), maximized financial aid receipt, and reduced units to completion.
