California’s community colleges aim to award credit for work experience to 250,000 students by 2030, but inconsistent implementation hinders equity.
California’s community colleges are expanding credit for prior work experience, aiming for 250,000 students to earn college credit by 2030, with $37 million proposed in 2026.
While over 40,000 students have received credit—possibly up to 80,000—implementation varies widely across the state’s 116 colleges, and no centralized system tracks participation.
Some schools now require orientation sessions to inform transfer students, but many learn about the opportunity only after enrolling.
Students like Laylah Rivers, a Black tech professional, have earned credits through military service and certifications, accelerating degree completion.
Still, inconsistent processes, lack of funding, and uneven outreach hinder equity, especially for underrepresented groups.
