In this episode, I team up with Stephanie Feger from the Orange Coast Regional Consortium at the 2025 Spring CCCAOE Conference to explore how Vision 2030 is transforming student success.

We dive into our collaboration to build a culturally grounded career readiness framework using Aspira’s Empowering Scholars Program and real-time labor market data. We highlight a regional publication featuring best practices from OC counselors helping students craft powerful first-gen career narratives, and demo OC Works, a dynamic suite of tools including a Sector Explorer, Skills Explorer, Employer Map, and Living Wage Dashboard.
