Transforming High School Experiences

with Golden State Pathways and OneGoal

Empowering California’s High Schools for Long-Term Student Success

Did you know?

 

By 2030, 65% of jobs in California will require postsecondary education or training, yet only 40% of high school graduates in the state currently meet this benchmark—whether it’s college, career, or beyond. The Golden State Pathways Program is changing that by creating transformative opportunities for students to explore career pathways, gain real-world skills, and prepare for a bright future.

At OneGoal, we partner with schools and districts to turn this vision into reality, helping students bridge the gap between education and opportunity. Together, we can ensure every student is set up for lifelong success.
