Sacramento Pathways to Success, a partnership signed by leaders of three Sacramento educational institutions last April, provides students with opportunities for success in college as they look for a future career, according to City College Public Information Officer Amanda Davis.

While the partnership is still in the early stages of planning and execution, its leaders are looking for volunteers and students to pledge time and effort to help out, said Davis.

The partnership is currently accepting online pledges of engagement and is asking for advice, contributions and academic and business support, according to Davis. Ways for students, businesses and the community to get involved include participating in focus groups, serving on a leadership board, and setting up scholarship opportunities.

Administrators are hopeful that all this will one day lead to a program that will offer many forms of support for students who are looking for help transitioning from high school to college and to work.

“Sacramento Pathways to Success helps create clear pathways for students and families from kindergarten through college and into the workforce,” said Davis. “Our goal is to engage community partners to help students move successfully from college into our local workforce.”

The main objective of this partnership is to provide students with a clear vision of the classes they need to take to enter their desired careers, according to the official website for the program.

“An educated and talented workforce is crucial to the economic prosperity of the Sacramento region,” said Sacramento State President Alexander Gonzalez in a press release. “This partnership will help us develop local talent and keep that talent local as we build on our work to grow and diversify the region’s economy.”

City College President Kathryn Jeffery, Sacramento City Unified Superintendent Jonathan Raymond and Gonzalez came together at Kennedy High School last year to create the partnership with three main goals in mind: to boost graduation rates, improve college readiness programs, and improve student success and persistence rates for classes and degrees, according to City College’s public information office.

The idea for the partnership began in 2010 when leaders from Los Rios and Sacramento State visited Long Beach to learn about a similar program in Long Beach’s K-12 school district, said the press release. Sacramento Pathways to Success is based on this program, focusing on similar goals that Long Beach has implemented to help students graduate.
