CLNA requires institutions to evaluate programs across six elements. This section focuses on Element 6: Labor Market Information View CLNA Element 6 Summary Are CTE offerings broad enough to expose students to in-demand sectors/occupations? The San Diego & Imperial Community Colleges Center of Excellence (COE) released a PRIORITY JOBS AND PROGRAMS report where it analyzed labor market dentifying high-demand, high-wage middle-skill jobs is vital for promoting career stability and economic mobility in San Diego County. In 2023, the county had over 1.8 million jobs, with 40 percent (723,468 jobs) classified as “middle-skill jobs.” These priority jobs are defined as middle-skill occupations that: • Have at least 60 projected annual job openings between 2023 and 2028 in San Diego County; • Pay at or above the living wage of $26.01 per hour for a single adult in San Diego County;1 and • Typically require fewer than five years of work experience at entry.First, we identified San Diego County’s priority jobs using the following criteria: a middle-skill job, as defined by the COE; We used these criteria to select the 50 priority jobs. To identify priority programs, COE used TOP codes and SOC codes and referred to a crosswalk created by the Centers of Excellence to determine alignment between priority jobs and TOP codes that train for those occupations. From that list, we identified 72 TOP codes, or priority programs. Please note that in an effort to concentrate on programs that were specifically focused on training for priority jobs and that were less general, not all possible TOP codes associated with an occupation were included. Out Out of the 72 priority TOP Codes, SDCCD provided offerings in more than half 41 top codes across 8 priority sectors. Besides Theere are 12 Priority Sectors identified for the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office, plus additional clusters that represent other common career and technical education program groupings. SDCCD offer 8 out 12 sectors. We are very strong in Information & Communication Technologies (ICT)/Digital Media and Advanced Transportation & Logistics and Advanced Manufacturing. Out of the 12 sectors, Agriculture, Water & Environmental Technologies • Business & Entrepreneurship • Education & Human Development • Energy, Construction & Utilities • Global Trade • Health • Information & Communication Technologies (ICT)/Digital Media • Life Sciences/Biotech • Public Safety • Retail, Hospitality & Tourism Priority Program Offerings by Colleges College Program Offerings City College 43 Mesa College 20 Miramar College 59 SDCCE 53 Districtwide Total 175 Explore a list of programs for each college by visting Appendix 1 in CTE Data Summary for your college.

Data Definitions
The following definitions and metrics are used across multiple sections of CLNA reporting. Percentage Point Gap Minus One (PPG-1) The percentage point gap minus one statistic is used to measure the difference in percentage points between the student sub-population outcomes and the outcome of other groups. It is defined as follows: PPG-1 = % outcome of student sub-population - % outcome of all other students For this project a 95% confidence interval was applied. For more information regarding the PPG-1 and the surrounding statistics, please see the following report: Sosa, G. (n.d.). Using Disproportionate Impact Methods to Identify Equity Gaps.
