From Local Program to Statewide SuccessThis development perfectly illustrates the effectiveness of our model at SGFF to research and develop innovative services on-the-ground in our service areas with local partners and spread those positive changes across the state through our Public Policy program. What began at SGFF as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) program in 1996 and became the full, multi-step, multi-discipline Career Pathways program in 2004, our Policy program helped expand into what Career Pathways is today: a $12 million a year program at all 22 community colleges and three technical institutes across the state and a major system change in the way colleges serve low-income students. We remain dedicated to workforce, educational, and career development in the Delta and across the state, and we are busily considering how we will contribute next, and what funding opportunities and partnerships are available. Stay tuned and please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have questions or ideas. Learn more about the Career Pathways program’s background.
