Abstract | This is the first brief in a series on learnings from career education (CE) opportunities in the California Community Colleges (CCC). The series begins on learnings from CE opportunities in the CCC system by highlighting what students described as most helpful in contributing to their success. These CE programs were aimed at helping students find meaningful jobs and careers with family-supporting wages, aligning curriculum with industry needs, encouraging timely completion, and providing students with work-based learning opportunities. It was found that students especially valued having a consistent schedule, being part of a student cohort, having a program-specific counselor, building foundational skills, and obtaining relevant work experience while enrolled in college. Learning from students' experiences in these programs can help colleges redesign their CE programs to better meet students' needs and support their regional economies. Students' perspectives are also relevant in the context of current reform efforts in the CCC such as Guided Pathways (GP), aimed at providing clear pathways and structured support for students.
