Getting Started with Linked Learning

The Linked Learning Alliance is working across California and the nation to advance practices and policies that will help ensure one million more young people have access to high-quality, equitable educational experiences that are proven to lead to postsecondary success.

Students work harder and dream bigger when their learning connects with them and connects them to the world. Educators develop Linked Learning pathways to combine rigorous academics with relevant career experience—and chart a clear path for their students toward success in postsecondary education, the workforce, and civic life.
