California's economy is demanding more educated workers and in just a few years that demand
will reach critical mass.
The Public Policy Institute of California says that if we don't ramp up college access
and completion rates, by the year 2030 California will have a shortage of 1.1 million workers
with a bachelor's degree.
"I think this education skills gap that we've projected is really a critical issue
facing California.
If we're not able to close that gap, then we will have a population that is less skilled,
we will have jobs that pay less, we will have people who need more social services, and
we'll have less tax revenue to pay for it."
To help meet the demand the California Community Colleges are now offering an innovative program
- Bachelor's degrees in eleven majors at fifteen schools.
The degrees are unique to California Community Colleges and not offered at UC or CSUs.
These career education fields have been carefully chosen to meet work force demands in each
region.
"The uniqueness of this is that while you might be able to get a job with an AA, you'll
be able to keep the job and earn more with the baccalaureate degree."
Two community colleges offer baccalaureate degrees in the much needed field of respiratory
care.
"Modesto has more of an agricultural area so there's a little more air pollution,
air quality is poor.
So, we are seeing that we have higher incidence of reactive airway disease and asthma in children
because of our air quality.
By 2020 more of the hospitals are going to want graduates who have a bachelor's degree."
And nearly half of respiratory care workers are close to retirement age, creating the
need for these students who can then earn more than $72,000 a year.
"If you speak to some of our students they wouldn't have an opportunity to get a bachelor's
degree if it wasn't offered here locally."
Bachelor's degrees from California Community Colleges average about a total of $10,000
– a cost that can't be beat in this age of soaring tuition rates.
"Getting a bachelor's degree for $10,000 is kind of incredible."
Another game-changer is the Interaction Design degree offered at Santa Monica College.
"Interaction Design is how a person interacts with a system so it could be digital it could
be physical.
There's a ton of entrepreneurs and investors and people working to promote tech in LA."
Economists predict in the Los Angeles area there will be more than 47,000 job openings
in 2019.
"We actually have people from the industry come and consult for our curriculum and these
are the people who are saying "If I were to hire one of your graduates, this is what
I'd be looking for."
Getting thru Santa Monica College students will have the opportunity to make $100,000
in the LA region almost immediately.
That changes the impact in the community."
Employers in the Central Valley are counting on the Industrial Automation degree from Bakersfield
College to produce highly educated future workers.
"Industrial Automation is needed here in Bakersfield because it fits so many of our
local businesses."
There are more than 4,400 jobs in the Bakersfield area that could be staffed immediately by
these bachelor's degree students, the median pay is more than $97,000 a year.
"Having a source like a Bakersfield College and a bachelor's program allows us to know
know that those students are prepared before they come to work.
"What we envisioned was that students that grow up in Kern County and can attend Bakersfield
College here in Kern County and they could find a position right here in their hometown."
The California Community Colleges Bachelor's Degree Program fuels the economy, drives innovation,
pumps energy into local communities, provides industry and business with skilled employees,
and changes the lives of students across the state.
