Career Ladders Project Focus Group Findings

The Sacramento K-16 Collaborative partnered with Career Ladders Project (CLP) to conduct five virtual focus groups, engaging a total of 40 students. The purpose of these focus groups was to gain insights into the specific challenges faced by adult learners, first-generation students, and students of color on their transfer journey. This report presents key themes that emerged from the focus groups, offering perspectives to inform and enhance the institutions’ practices and processes. By centering student voices, these findings aim to help the Sacramento K-16 Collaborative in making meaningful improvements to support students navigating the transfer process.
