FRESNO, Calif. — California spends hundreds of millions of dollars a year to help people get high-quality jobs. However, a new investigation from CalMatters found that many people are winding up in low-paying positions with high turnover.
CalMatters reporter Adam Echelman has been reporting on this topic. He says Governor Gavin Newsom has made career training a goal of his and that Newsom wants to train more people for what he calls good-paying, long-lasting, and fulfilling careers.
Echelman's recent reporting focused on a California-administered program that provides tuition money to students. He joined me for a conversation and described how it all works.
