Dear Partners,
In light of the recent executive order calling for the closure of the U.S. Department of Education, the CA EDGE Coalition is concerned about the potential implications for our work and the broader education and workforce ecosystem. While the full impact of this decision remains unclear, our mission remains unchanged.
As a nonpartisan policy and advocacy organization, we remain committed to advancing education and training opportunities for all Californians. We are actively monitoring developments and staying in close communication with the National Skills Coalition and other federal partners to understand what this means for California.
Planning is also underway for a joint webinar with the National Skills Coalition to help unpack these changes and discuss their potential impacts on our state. We will share details as soon as they are finalized.
We appreciate your partnership and remain steadfast in our work during this time of uncertainty.
In solidarity,
Zima Creason, Executive Director
CA EDGE Coalition
