About California College Guidance Initiative

The California College Guidance Initiative (CCGI) is a state-funded nonprofit organization based in Sacramento, California, dedicated to facilitating college and career readiness for all students, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds. At the heart of CCGI's mission is CaliforniaColleges.edu, the official college and career planning platform for the state. This innovative platform serves as a vital resource for over half of California's 6th-12th grade students, providing them with actionable data and tools that can significantly influence their educational and career trajectories.

CaliforniaColleges.edu offers a comprehensive suite of resources, including college exploration, career planning, and financial aid information, designed to empower students in setting and achieving their goals. The platform simplifies the college application process and automates many time-consuming tasks for educators and counselors, allowing them to focus on providing personalized support to students. CCGI collaborates closely with Partner Districts to enhance transcript data accuracy, implement best practices, and integrate effective tools into guidance and instructional practices. This partnership ensures that improvements are sustainable, benefiting students for years to come.

For educators seeking to enhance their understanding of college and career guidance, the California College Guidance Initiative provides valuable resources and training opportunities. By fostering a collaborative environment, CCGI ensures that teachers are equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to support their students effectively. For those interested in connecting with educators involved in this initiative, a comprehensive California College Guidance Initiative teachers list can be a helpful resource. Overall, CCGI is committed to making college and career pathways accessible and achievable for every student in California.
