Bay Area Community Colleges

One of its active projects, led by Laney College with a $158,300 budget for 2025 to 2027, is writing a modular battery curriculum. Colleges can fold it into existing electronics, industrial maintenance and mechatronics programs to train technicians for employers in electric vehicles, clean energy and manufacturing.

The consortium's stated aim is to lead students to living-wage jobs. Other current projects include a public transit associate degree and a shared credit-for-prior-learning program across twenty partner colleges.
