We strive to build a city where all residents have access to quality educational opportunities and cradle-to-career support so they can achieve their life goals.
The City is committed to working alongside our educational and community partners to support the academic success and future employment of Hayward’s students. The City does this by actively participating in collaborations like the Hayward Promise Neighborhoods, growing the economy, creating facilitating pipelines for both private and public sector careers, providing partnering to provide education and employment services, and communicating about educational opportunities and successes.
Throughout this plan, we have identified projects with
this icon that have an ‘Education City’ focus or
services/projects that we are reviewing though an
‘Education City’ lens.
Questions we ask when we apply an ‘Education City’ lens to a service or project:
● Have we communicated with our educational and community partners to align service offerings and create a more seamless service experience for Hayward families? ● Will How will this service, project, or policy generate jobscreate support or expand educational and/or economic opportunities for people in Hayward ? If so, are there ways we can develop facilitate and develop employment pipelines with Hayward community and educational partners for Hayward youth and residents to access those jobs?
● How are we communicating about education and economic opportunities both in and around Hayward to Hayward families? What barriers are there for people to access this information?
● Transportation specific: Does this project make it easier for families and students to get to their campuses and other educational resources?
