What is Linked Learning? Linked Learning is an approach to education that transforms the traditional school experience by bringing together strong academics, career-based classroom learning, and real-world workplace experience to help students gain an advantage in high school, postsecondary education, and career. Students can choose among industry-themed pathways in fields such as engineering, arts and media, and biomedicine and health.
The California Community College Linked Learning Initiative aims to strengthen the connections between Linked Learning high schools and post-secondary education. This statewide demonstration project is working to align and extend Linked Learning pathways into the community colleges and beyond, using evidence-based strategies that will improve student transition and success in both college and career.

WHY ALLIED HEALTH CAA Full range of healthcare careers introduced to students Credentials accrued along the pathway
WHY THE ALLIED HEALTH CAA Skyline College Number of Allied Health Degrees Awarded
EMPLOYER AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT San Mateo County Workforce Development Task Force for Health Care Sector Participants
EMPLOYER AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Primary Areas of Inquiry*: • Fast tracking job seekers • Ensuring successful career paths for low income workers • Improving math/science literacy for those entering healthcare • Preparing healthcare workers for technological changes * In the context of both a significant recession and the changes from the Affordable Care Act
EMPLOYER AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Some of What We Found Out • No entry portal or clear pathway into training and trainees may not recognize the scope of their choices • No centralized mechanism for ensuring that all trainees have access to full range of jobs • Career ladders may happen in large hospitals but no mechanism for entry level workers to find the “next” step • Entry level workers often cannot perform necessary calculations
WHY THE ALLIED HEALTH CAA WIN WIN for the Students, Workforce System and Employers.
