Calbright College
Making Strides and Building Career Pathways for Californians
California’s first and only fully-online, public community college is making exceptional progress under the new leadership of President and CEO Ajita Talwalker Menon, who took the job in 2020 after serving in the Obama Administration as Special Assistant to the President for Higher Education Policy at the White House Domestic Policy Council. Now in its third year, Calbright has just over 1,000 actively enrolled students in one of five programs: IT Support, Cybersecurity, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Medical Coding, and Equitable Health Impacts. That’s a 110% increase in enrollment from July 2021. The Bay Area Council has been a supporter of Calbright College since its inception, supported the legislation that created Calbright College in 2018 and is partnering with Calbright to expand employer engagement with their students and programming.

Future Careers in Manufacturing
Building a Stronger Manufacturing Workforce in Northern California
Manufacturing holds an important key to the economy of California, which is the nation’s largest manufacturing state. It supports a balanced and diversified economy, is an anchor for research and development (R&D), and provides well-compensated entry level jobs with significant opportunities for advancement. It also fills a critical gap in California’s employment structure between lower-paid service jobs and highly-paid employment in technology-related fields, providing opportunities for workers without advanced degrees. This study assesses drivers of change in Northern California’s manufacturing workforce, including the reshoring of manufacturing that is currently overseas, the realignment of global supply chains, the widespread adoption of digital technology in production processes, 3D printing, and the aging of the industrial workforce. The study also includes a discussion of biomedical manufacturing as a sector with distinct requirements.
