Collecting over 18,000 JSTs gives us invaluable insight into the educational backgrounds of our student veterans,” said Lindsey Sin, secretary of the California Department of Veterans Affairs. “This historic milestone not only strengthens the bridge from military service to higher education, but powerfully affirms the value, expertise, and leadership our veterans bring to California’s campuses and communities.

This push ensures that knowledge translates into college credit, saving time, money, and preserving precious GI Bill benefits for continued education,” said Member Blas Villalobos, California Community Colleges Board of Governors.

ALT “Efforts like this remind us what’s possible when we honor the skills and service of our veterans. Credit for Prior Learning is a powerful tool to help them move forward with confidence and purpose. As a system, and here in Ventura County, we have important work ahead — but the urgency is clear. Our veterans deserve pathways that turn their experience into opportunity,” said Chancellor Rick MacLennan, Ventura Community College District and chair of the CA Community Colleges Veterans Caucus.
