California AB1446 requires community college districts to conduct a job market study before establishing vocational or occupational training programs.

California AB1446 mandates that the governing board of a community college district must conduct a job market study of the labor market area before establishing a vocational or occupational training program. The study must use the State-Local Cooperative Labor Market Information Program or other available sources. It must analyze existing vocational and occupational education or training programs to ensure the anticipated employment demand justifies the proposed courses. The study results must be made public, and the governing board must decide if the study supports the program.
