The Linked Learning Alliance today applauded the UC Office of the President (UCOP) for approving the Linked Learning Alliance’s (LLA) application for program status, a move that will help the growing number of Linked Learning pathways provide high-quality curriculum that integrates Career Technical Education (CTE) with rigorous college preparatory academics.

The courses give students integrated college preparatory and career technical education and are aligned to Information Technology and Manufacturing and Product Development industry sectors.

On June 22, Roneeta Guha, Vice President of Strategy & Impact, joined Bob Balfanz and Jenny Nagaoka to discuss how to keep young people connected to educational aspirations as communities recover from COVID-19.

I’ll cut to the chase: we have the incredible opportunity to bring Linked Learning to a national audience, and we need your help!
