California’s best-educated age group, members of the baby boomer generation, is starting to retire and the state currently ranks 47th out of the 50 states in the share of recent high school graduates that go to a four-year college. Loren Kaye (center), president of the California Foundation for Commerce and Education, spoke next about Linked Learning, which is helping bridge the skills gap.
