Newsom promised to help Californians build new careers. Now, the money is running out
Gov. Gavin Newsom included job training and career education reforms in his agenda, but key workforce initiatives may face funding cuts as the state addresses a budget deficit. The California Workforce Development Board could lose 20% of its staff, and several programs, including the governor’s 'high road training partnerships,' may receive little or no new funding in the 2026-27 budget proposal.
