California’s legislature approved $250 million in grant money to spur schools and industry to partner up. These partnerships are intended to give students clearly defined career pathways in high-skill, in-demand jobs.

In part two of our interview with Steinberg at the just-concluded 2013 California Economic Summit, he shared how the Summit will help him advance his goals and priorities of upgrading California’s workforce.
