According to a new data analysis, University of California graduates are more likely to find good-paying jobs and increase their earnings over the course of their careers thanks to their UC degrees. In collaboration with leading workforce data firm Lightcast, the university recently released a dashboard highlighting 25 years of career outcomes for UC alumni. This new tool shows the strong connection between a UC education and a high-growth career.

This new career pathways dashboard shows UC degrees fuel high-growth, good-paying careers and illustrates that UC graduates are making an impact every day on our state’s economy and local communities. From the doctors developing breakthrough medical treatments to the software engineers building the newest smartphones and the high school teachers educating the next generation of community leaders, our alumni are setting the course for economic prosperity.

“From the first day a student arrives on a UC campus, they are being prepared by our faculty and staff to be educated citizens and California’s workforce of tomorrow,” said UC Provost Katherine S. Newman. “This new data is further evidence of UC’s commitment to connecting academic excellence with workforce development. Our graduates climb the economic ladder because they leave our campuses with rigorous and experiential learning experiences to lead in their fields.”
