Increase college access among growing population groups that will emerge from current demographic trends. There is a need to increase college access among California’s under-served groups. By 2015, an estimated 600,000 additional students will enroll in Community Colleges, and many of these students will be low-income and/or first-generation college students. There is also a second Hidden Tidal Wave of more than 750,000 students who are not high school graduates but could still benefit from a Community College education. Strategies will be developed to improve access for key groups: Tidal Wave II students, Hidden Tidal Wave students, adult learners, workforce participants, and unskilled/underskilled workers.
