Funding & Subgranting
The Central Coast K-16 Regional Collaborative distributed subgrant funding to regional partners to support the development and expansion of career pathways across the six-county region. This funding was a core part of the Collaborative's strategy to reduce educational and economic inequities by connecting K-12, community college, and university partners around shared pathway goals.
Our Subgranting Process
The Collaborative issued subgrants through a structured application process in which partners were evaluated on their regional alignment, pathway readiness, and equity commitments. Funding was distributed into 2 cycles, focusing on Health and Engineering.
Funded Pathways
Through the subgranting process, the Collaborative funded career pathways spanning industries such as health, technology, and agriculture across the Central Coast. Each funded pathway was built around a partnership between K-12 schools, colleges, and industry partners, creating clear routes for students from high school through higher education and into careers. Explore the full list of funded pathways to see the full scope of the Collaborative's regional investment.
Pathway Maps
Each funded pathway was accompanied by a designed pathway map to help students, families, and educators visualize how academic and career goals connect. The maps highlight learning opportunities, industry connections, and the steps students could take to turn their goals into achievements. Explore our pathway maps to see how these journeys were designed.
