Meanwhile, Californiacontinues to face shortages of qualified, collegeeducated workers who are needed to maintain thestate’s robust economy and viable workforce.The Power of the PromiseThe Los Angeles College Promise is demonstrating positive results. Open to any first-time, full-time student,the student success program covers the first two years thanks to the continued support from state andlocal elected leaders, community members, the philanthropic arena and other stakeholders.
