We’re pleased to share Issue #8 of CVML Connect. This March edition highlights regional alignment efforts underway as we prepare for SWP Round 11 and K12 SWP Round 8, including the upcoming Vision 2030 Regional Workshop on May 4–5 in Bakersfield.
This issue includes updates on K12 SWP Round 8 Intent to Award, key fiscal reminders, and the March 3 SWP Fiscal Workshop. We also spotlight apprenticeship expansion efforts, most notably the Future Ready Healthcare event on March 12, and regional industry convenings supporting employer-aligned pathways. Workforce insights from the Center of Excellence note that 41% of the region’s 1.89 million jobs are entry-level, reinforcing the importance of Adult Education and CTE in preparing residents for in-demand careers.
The newsletter contains active links to upcoming events, funding opportunities, and resources.
