Abstract: To help build a skilled workforce and sustain economic prosperity, California set a 70 percent postsecondary attainment goal in the 2022-23 state budget, declaring that some education or training after high school is necessary for most adults. That same year, Assembly Bill 181 established the Golden State Pathways Program (GSPP) with a $500 million investment. This initiative aims to create smooth transitions from PK-12 to postsecondary education and careers in high-wage, high-skill, high-growth industries. The program is part of California's broader strategy to advance educational equity, align education with workforce needs, and boost postsecondary readiness for high school students, especially those from underserved groups that face systemic barriers in educational settings, including English Learners, low-income students, and foster youth. In the report, the authors explore the early implementation of the GSPP, including how funds have been distributed and how local education agencies (LEAs) plan to use the funds to enhance existing career pathways. This report contains the Technical Appendixes which include: (1) Data and Methods; (2) Tables and Figures; (3) Summary of Career Pathway and College Readiness Reforms in California; (4) Semi-Structured Interview Protocol; and (5) Summary of GSPP Implementation Plans by Region and County.
