Doing What Matters for Jobs & the Economy

an Economic and Workforce Development program initiative

The California Community College's Chancellor's Office Doing What Matters for Jobs and the Economy campaign focuses on determining labor market needs as a basis for regional capacity planning and sector priorities.

Industry Sector Profiles

To support the work of the Doing What Matters for Jobs & the Economy campaign, the Centers of Excellence developed profiles on priority sectors in California. The sectors were chosen for their relevance to the state's economy and also for the opportunity they present for advancing a qualified workforce to serve local communities.
