Gov. Gavin Newsom launched the Master Plan for Career Education in 2025, he described a key priority--creating a mechanism for people without bachelor’s degrees to attain well-paid work. The Career Passport will deliver on that vision by ensuring that Californians who have built skills through apprenticeships, industry-recognized credentials, the military, and noncredit programs can share those competencies with both employers and colleges. By creating a tool that documents competencies that are relevant to hiring and credit for prior learning, we are unlocking opportunities that will benefit individuals, families, and the broader economy.  \nInitially, the Career Passport will focus on verifying credentials that job seekers have obtained in both academic and nonacademic settings. For example, an employer seeking to hire someone for a behavioral health position could see that a candidate completed a Community Healthcare Worker certificate at Berkeley City College and a CPR certification with the Red Cross. The Career Passport will also capture information that is relevant for credit for prior learning, thereby leveraging this ongoing systemwide initiative. A college could verify that a student earned a forklift certification from a reliable for-profit provider so they could finish a logistics technician certificate in less time. In addition, the California community college system will validate credentials through the credit for prior learning assessment process. This additional level of review will provide a deeper level of documentation about the skills that individuals have mastered through specific credentials, which will help to build trust among both employers and faculty in accepting nontraditional learning.  \nThe 2025 Higher Education Trailer Bill (Committee on Budget, AB 123, Chapter 9, Statutes of 2025) specified the reporting requirements for the Career Passport Program, including:  \n• Metrics and Milestone Reports (Due January 1, July 1, and December 1, 2026)  \n• Timeline Report (Due March 1, 2026)  \n• Development Metrics Preliminary Report (Due December 31, 2027)  \n• Final Report on Student and Employer Use (Due December 31, 2031)  \nThis report fulfills the legislative requirements of the","cbCaik3UIerym7Hj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaik3UIerym7Hj","pdf",3164881,16,"English","# INTRODUCTION\n## Legislative reporting requirements and scope\n## Career Passport approach: credential verification and prior learning credit\n# REPORT\n## Key deliverables and measurable project milestones\n## Table 1: July 1 to December 31, 2025 milestones\n## Table 2: January 1 to June 30, 2026 projected milestones and expenditures","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the 2026 California Career Passport Program report?\",\"answer\":\"It provides an overview of current and proposed measurable project milestones, activities, and expenditures for the California Career Passport, fulfilling legislative reporting requirements.\"},{\"question\":\"How will the Career Passport help people seeking employment without bachelor’s degrees?\",\"answer\":\"It documents competencies gained through apprenticeships, industry-recognized credentials, military experience, and noncredit programs, enabling employers and colleges to recognize those skills for hiring and credit for prior learning.\"},{\"question\":\"What legislative requirement does this report satisfy?\",\"answer\":\"It fulfills requirements in the Higher Education Trailer Bill SEC. 19(c)(2), including listing past measurable milestones with funding expended and describing anticipated milestones with projected expenditures and intended activities.\"}]","2026 REPORT - California Career Passport Program | PDF",1792046563]
