Report of the Working Group on Workforce Preparation and Business Linkages

CONCLUSION

The most powerful driver to ensure positive change is to create a system with an intense focus on serving the student. This type of focus will demand that the institutions are effectively and efficiently accountable, internally and externally aligned, and are delivering the appropriate academic and career preparation content. With this student focus, this report lays out a vision that builds on the genius of the original Master Plan for Higher Education by going beyond access to ensure that California's students will reach successful personal and career outcomes upon exiting the educational system. It is this focus on the students and their success that must be honored for the vision of the Master Plan to fulfill the promise for the youth of today and tomorrow.
