California Competes Brief Explains Cradle-to-Career Data System to Policymakers

In a new brief titled, “The Cradle-to-Career Data System Governance Options, Explained,” California Competes offers analysis about the state’s Cradle-to-Career Data System to policymakers.

In the brief, California Competes looks at data systems from other states but also explains that California is unique.

“California is one of only two states without a higher education coordinating entity. This fact makes the governance of the data system all the more important,” said California Competes Executive Director Dr. Su Jin Gatlin Jez. “California’s new data system governing board will make decisions that have far-reaching implications for education and employment in our state. We should all care about the construct of this board.”
