A Roadmap for California Community Colleges
Vision 2030 is a collaborative action plan that provides focus, equity, and direction to our community colleges. It guides field practice, removes barriers, fosters policy reform, and supports college implementation. And it responds to technological and environmental changes facing our community while holistically addressing the needs of colleges and students.

Introduction from the Chancellor
California’s 116 community colleges serve the largest and most diverse student body in higher education, making us a pivotal force in developing California’s workforce, keeping the economy strong and strengthening our democracy.
Our Why
Vision 2030 focuses on the students and future learners impacted by increasing income inequality and poverty. These include veterans, people with low incomes, K-12 dual-enrollment students, foster youth, and students who are justice involved or justice impacted.

Vision 2030 - The July 2025 Edition
We are not changing directions. We are recommitting to our shared three goals – Equity in Access, Equity in Success, and Equity in Support, while incorporating what we have learned over the past 18 months, clarifying our approach to innovation and sustainability, defining the infrastructure development and policy framework necessary to advance the ambitious goals, and expanding our plan to incorporate the challenges and opportunities emerging across our system, our state, our nation, and the world. -

Key to achieving Vision 2030 goals is the implementation of demonstration projects that will foster significant change in California’s community colleges by seeding innovation, scaling implementation of promising practices, and integrating new education models. -
