Abstract	This final brief in the series focuses on policy options that can foster more innovation and address challenges in career education (CE) program development. It is based on earlier research for a series of reports called "Career Opportunities," aimed at identifying ways that state and system policy can best support the CE mission of the California Community Colleges (CCC). The authors: (1) revisit the primary recommendations from that series about barriers to more effective CE programs; (2) outline related actions the system has taken to address those barriers and improve CE in recent years; and (3) suggest opportunities for further changes to policy to promote the success of CE students. At a time when the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic crisis are having particularly devastating effects on California's low-income populations and people of color, ensuring that state and system policies support community colleges to provide robust and relevant CE programs to the state's displaced workers may be critical to the state's economic recovery.
