California Reconnect Initiative: Year One Evaluation

March 2025

The California Reconnect initiative supports adult learners that have some college but no credential in returning to complete their education through personalized coaching and proactive outreach.

Early findings show the model’s promise in reducing barriers, rebuilding student confidence, and helping institutions re-engage learners at scale.
