§ 69951 Student Work-Earn Program

The Leaning-Aligned Employment Program is hereby created to provide eligible college and university students with the opportunity to earn money to help defray their educational costs, while gaining education-aligned, career-related experience. The program shall be administered by the commission, in consultation with the office of the President of the University of California, the office of the Chancellor of the California State University, and the office of the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges. The Legislature finds that the program furthers the interests of the state, and specifically lessens the burdens of government by ensuring eligible college and university students can pursue higher education in the state. (Amended by Stats. 2021, Ch. 144, Sec. 34. (AB 132) Effective July 27, 2021.)
