萨克拉门托 State will join the region’s educational institutions and an array of other local partners in a new effort to provide more career pathways for students and address longstanding issues of equity in higher education and the workforce.

萨克拉门托K16合作项目汇集了萨克州立大学、加州大学戴维斯分校、洛斯里奥斯社区学院区、萨克拉门托县教育办公室和其他机构，共同开发医疗保健和工程领域从教育到职业的新途径，特别是针对来自传统上代表性不足的社区的学生。

The collaborative is one of six partnerships throughout the state that are 首先获得区域K-16教育合作资助计划的资助. 该计划旨在培育区域经济，加强从教育到职业的途径，并确保教育、职业和劳动力计划共同努力，提供更广泛的教育和就业机会。

Each partnership has received about $18.1 million – of  $108.6 million total – from the California Department of General Services, the Office of Public School Construction, and the Foundation for California Community Colleges.

The 萨克拉门托 K16 Collaborative is part of ProjectAttain !, an existing regional partnership that focuses on educational attainment and workforce development in the 萨克拉门托 region. 新的资金将加速目前针对成年人的工作，并引入新的努力，帮助K-12学生完成大学学业并进入职业生涯。 它将把工作的地理范围扩大到内华达州、科卢萨、约洛和尤巴县。 K16合作伙伴机构共同为50多万名学生提供服务。

继续教育学院院长Jenni Murphy， project tain！, says the new collaborative is a natural extension of 囊状态’s existing work.

“The ProjectAttain ! Board of Directors, staff, partners, and volunteers are excited to expand and accelerate the intersegmental work in our region,” Murphy said. “We are collectively motivated and focused on dismantling barriers that stand between our diverse communities and the pathways that lead to family-sustaining wages.”

在拨款覆盖的五年内，萨克拉门托K16合作计划的目标是：

• 通过在萨克州立大学和加州大学戴维斯分校招收1300名有色人种的年轻男性，促进教育和劳动力公平。
• 创建并加强双录取项目，使完成一年大学学业的高中毕业生人数增加两倍。
• 发展职业道路，使毕业后准备进入大学学习或在医疗保健或工程领域当学徒的高中生人数增加两倍。
• 向已获得学位但尚未申请或即将完成学位的成年人颁发4000个学位，同时招收另外4000名返回社区大学的学生。
• 所有参与合作的学院和大学达到西班牙裔服务机构的地位。

Among other activities, 萨克拉门托 State will develop new accelerated pathways to help students – particularly underserved students – earn degrees in health care and engineering more quickly through more flexible class schedules and online options. 学校还将与加州大学戴维斯分校合作，明确转学要求，并更好地准备招生顾问，以帮助希望转学的学生。

“Education not only powers our regional workforce, it is a pathway for opportunity and mobility,” 囊状态 President Robert S. Nelsen said. “As both an anchor university committed to serving our community, and a university dedicated to removing systemic inequities and barriers to success, I am proud that 囊状态 is joining its regional educational partners in this important work.”

萨克拉门托K16合作项目的其他合作伙伴包括普莱塞县教育办公室、塞拉社区学院区、尤巴社区学院区、太浩湖社区学院区以及萨克拉门托和普莱塞县的多个学区。
