Join us and learn how you can take control of what happens to your property, preserve assets for loved ones, avoid disputes, and enjoy peace of mind knowing that you’ve made your wishes clear.

CCC EEO Plan Data Analyses Curriculum (Training)
The EEO Plans are a critical tool in identifying actions colleges can take to increase meaningful inclusion, accessibility, and equity in outcomes for individuals from diverse communities.

Collaboration is crucial to making things happen, and it begins at our college. Strong internal partnerships across departments—such as Student Affairs, Academic Affairs, ITS, Human Resources, Finance, Labor Unions, constituency groups—are essential for cohesive student support and equitable outcomes. When we work together across roles, we can better align curriculum with workforce needs, ensure access to transfer pathways, and connect students with critical resources.

At the same time, external collaboration is vital. Expanding partnerships with community organizations, K-12 schools, higher education institutions, and industry leaders allows CCSF to serve as a hub for opportunity, equity, and social mobility. Together, internal and external collaboration help break down barriers and build more inclusive pathways for all students.

We will focus on workshops that foster cross-functional collaboration, deepen community partnerships, and advance equitable student outcomes.

Three Flex strands were identified to support these efforts, which is important for the success of the College in meeting the needs of our students by assisting in further enhancing student achievement and providing additional innovation opportunities for all. They are goals of CCSF’s Education Master Plan (EMP), which serves as the College’s long-range strategic blueprint for all institutional planning and program development from 2018-2025.

INSTITUTIONALIZE EQUITY (IE): Institutionalizing equity requires intentional adoption of evidence-based, equity advancing policies and practices to provide support and resources to disproportionately impacted student and employee groups. Please reference the equity definitions here. 

IMPROVE OPERATIONS OF THE COLLEGE (IOC): By sharing knowledge of our internal processes, policies, and services, and training our employees, we fulfill our commitments by displaying accountability and responsibility and creating positive experiences for all our students and colleagues.  Therefore, keeping colleagues and students up to date on operational changes that may impact employee and student success.

Strengthen Community, Education and Industry partnerships (SCEIP): This strand focuses on how CCSF builds and sustains meaningful connections beyond the campus to support student success. Whether through transferring, dual enrollment, workforce pipelines, or community-based initiatives, these partnerships expand learning opportunities and career pathways for students.
