3. Brief History
1984 – Present, Federal funding (Perkins, Financial Aid, Etc.) has required performance data, hopefully showing improvements.
1991 – Present, State EWD requirements include assessing and achieving benchmarks.
2005 – Present SB 70/1070 and numerous other legislated funding efforts require quantifiable improvements.
Accreditation standards ever-increasingly mandate well informed decision-making.

4. Strong Workforce Task Force
BOG and CCCCO formed a task force focusing on CTE needs which led to 25 recommendations (3 focused on data.)
4. Create common workforce metrics for all state- funded CTE programs and expand the definition of student success
5. Establish a student identifier to enable California to track workforce progress and outcomes for students across institutions and programs.
