Modesto Junior College hosted Gov. Gavin Newsom April 2 for the announcement of the California Master Plan for Career Education.

The Governor’s plan is focused on creating easier access points to education for students in CTE fields, providing college credit for professional experience and achievement, and allowing high school students to explore technical career paths through dual enrollment opportunities.

California’s economy is built on industries from healthcare to advanced manufacturing and information technology.

All of these career pathways open doors for all Californians and are key to achieving the goals of the state’s Masterplan for Career Education.
