🔬 The Bay Area K-16 Collaborative Steering Committee is a coordinating body for Bay Area industry-education engagement that provides input, encouragement, and external communication to stakeholders with respect to: the implementation of work-based learning into pathway designs and evidence-based solutions that address equity gaps and employer needs. Key objectives for the committee include broadening work-based learning opportunities for students from communities underrepresented in STEM, and the diversification of the Bay Area STEM workforce. Representatives from partner academic institutions and employers met on May 17, 2024 at Applied Materials for a meeting facilitated by Collaborative Director Agustin Cervantes, Ed.D. Cervantes and David Palter, Senior Director of Higher Education and Workforce Development for the Silicon Valley Leadership Group. The committee discussed how administrators, faculty and student support staff can best collaborate with each other and with employers to make sure that work based learning interventions are most effective for students. 🔬 Want to learn more about opportunities for employer involvement in the Collaborative?

Close your eyes and picture a health worker. Who comes to mind for you? A doctor? A nurse? Many of us hold on to limited perspectives on the careers within the health field. To showcase the breadth of opportunities available, the San José K-16 Collaborative hosted two health preview days this spring.

“Excellence and diversity are not in conflict, and in fact, you cannot have one without the other.” - Femi Ogundele
As part of our #EquityInclusionAction national initiative, we interviewed Olufemi “Femi” Ogundele, Associate Vice Chancellor of Enrollment and Dean of Undergraduate Admissions at @ucberkeleyofficial, to learn more about how California colleges and universities can redesign their own admissions policies to advance inclusion in light of the ongoing tension around Proposition 209, which has banned affirmative action in California since 1996. Read more and learn how Ogundele has contributed to some of UC Berkeley's most ethnically and geographically diverse classes of students enrolled in our new Expert Spotlight. https://buff.ly/44F2w4N
