REDDING, Calif.—State officials introduced several new workforce development programs on Dec. 16 including so-called “career passports” designed to help track Californians’ skills learned while serving in the military, volunteering, or working.
The learning and employment record will allow employers to better evaluate candidates and identify suitable employees, said proponents, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who announced the plan in a welding shop at Shasta College, a couple of hours north of Sacramento.
