Century Skills

• www.launchpath.com
• The Foundation for CA Community Colleges and the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship are partnering with NWoW on co-facilitation of trainings
• Trainings allow instructors to earn certificates to teach 21st Century Skills curriculum and understand the digital badging process for traditional and adult learners
Education & Workforce Development21st Century Skills & WIOA
• The new WIOA legislation encourages partnerships amongst employer organizations, education programs, and local Workforce Development Boards to provide career focused training, including soft skills
• The 21st Century Skills coursework provides ready-made curriculum that can be integrated into courses, workshops, or trainings co-run by community colleges & Workforce Development Boards
• These partnership organizations could contact the Foundation CCC to discuss access for adult learners to earn 21st Century Skills digital badges through LaunchPath
State Employment & Adult Learners:
CSI Competency Project• To help fill this shortage, education
and training providers can partner to provide preparation for the Civil Servant Exam and soft skills training, which is considered a baseline for all State positions
• The 21st Century Skills curriculum can be used for this soft skills training
• The State’s goal is to work with educators and training providers to help fill these positions
• Due to upcoming retirements
within the next three years, the
State is facing a huge labor
shortage of qualified civil
service workers
• For example, at the Franchise
Tax Board an estimated 47%
of employees could retire in
the next 3 years
