  Jun 10, 202623 minS3

  In this episode, the EDUCATE. ELEVATE. podcast explores Credit for Prior Learning (CPL), a powerful program available through California’s community colleges. CPL recognizes the knowledge and skills students gain through work experience, military service, internships, professional training, and other real-world experiences, allowing eligible students to earn college credit for what they already know. Instead of starting over, students can build on the knowledge they've already gained, potentially saving time and accelerating their path toward a degree or certificate. Learn how CPL is helping students of all types – younger students, nontraditional students, working professionals, and lifelong learners - transform experience into progress and move closer to their educational goals.
