We're excited to be featured in a recent Work Shift News article highlighting the transformative impact of the U.S. Economic Development Administration's Good Jobs Challenge! Through our California Resilient Careers in Forestry program, we're working with partners across the state to create pathways to family-sustaining careers while protecting our forests and building climate resilience. The article showcases how community colleges are emerging as key players in driving economic mobility. We're proud to partner with Butte College, Feather River Community College District, Lake Tahoe Community College, Reedley College, Shasta College, California State University, Chico, UCANR California Conservation Corps, CalFire and the Sierra Business Council to expand access to forestry careers. Our $21.5M grant is helping address critical workforce needs in California's $39B forestry and fire safety sector, with a focus on creating opportunities for historically underrepresented communities including tribal members, women, Hispanic/Latinx individuals, veterans, and those from low-income backgrounds.
