Abstract: Students of color represent the majority of enrollment in career and technical education (CTE) fields of study at community and technical colleges, which offer programs as pathways to further education, jobs, and careers. The Career and Technical Education CoLab (CTE CoLab) aimed to advance racial equity by reducing disparities in academic and career outcomes for historically marginalized students--especially students who are Black, Latinx, or Indigenous--enrolled in online and hybrid postsecondary career-focused programs at community and technical colleges. This is one of four case studies sharing key strategies CTE CoLab colleges implemented to inform other college practitioners and the policymakers and funders that support their work. This case study looks at Diablo Valley College, located in the Bay Area of California, which focused on its Art Digital Media program in both phases of its work with the CTE CoLab. Data for the case study comes from: (1) interviews with college staff; (2) college posters--summaries of colleges' equity action plans to advance change at their programs and institutions; and (3) a phase-one report describing strategies CTE CoLab colleges implemented to support students.
