[Jose A Aguilar]

Hi Apri,

Thank you for the opportunity to opine on this. It looks good to me. By eliminating the research piece it will be easier for our students to use these funds.

Thanks,
Jose

Good morning colleagues,
The following bill has been proposed and I wanted to get your thoughts on its impact. I know some of you have direct dealings with the eligibility side of LAEP, so I would appreciate your feedback on the implications (positive/negative) this bill would have as written. I'm working wiht our State Government team on this, so if you have feedback please provide no later than Tuesday, March 14. Thank you.



AB 746 (Sanchez) Learning-Aligned Employment Program: Eligibility<https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB746>



This bill would delete the requirement that a student be from an underrepresented background to be eligible to participate in the Learning-Aligned Employment program. The bill would instead require participating campuses to prioritize eligible students from underrepresented backgrounds, as defined by the commission, for learning-aligned employment positions. The bill also would delete the authorization for research centers and institutions and instead authorize public postsecondary institutions to employ participating students if their learning-aligned employment opportunities provide participating students with employment experience related to the student’s major or provide opportunities for skill attainment necessary for employment within their areas of study after graduation.
