California Education Interagency Council.
- Establishes a new state council to align education systems with workforce needs and economic changes.
- Requires biennial reports to evaluate job market demands and recommend improvements to education pathways.
- Creates an advisory committee of faculty and employers to address emerging workforce skills needs.
- Mandates development of paid internships and apprenticeships for high school and college students.
Assembly Member Fong's proposal to establish the California Education Interagency Council within the Government Operations Agency aims to coordinate education and workforce development efforts across the state's educational institutions and employment sectors. The council would comprise leaders from state education departments, labor agencies, and economic development offices to evaluate workforce trends and align educational pathways with employment needs.
The legislation creates an Office of the California Education Interagency Council as a neutral administrative body, overseen by a governor-appointed executive officer. The council would meet biannually beginning December 2025 to develop strategic plans, evaluate workforce data, and make recommendations on issues ranging from course alignment to financial aid programs. Within two years of its first meeting, the council would establish both a faculty-employer advisory committee and mechanisms for increasing industry engagement in experiential learning opportunities.
The council's duties include analyzing job market projections, reviewing educational outcomes data, and providing recommendations to the Legislature and Governor on intersegmental initiatives. The body would serve as a forum for discussing proposed changes to graduation requirements and federal education programs while working to enhance student pathways through initiatives like dual enrollment and credit transfer. While the council would operate in an advisory capacity only, it would produce biennial reports on educational outcomes and workforce alignment. The legislation specifies that implementation depends on funding appropriation through the state budget process.
