With change and innovation the driving forces, California's workerscan keep the edge of productivity and California's businessescan keep the edge of creativity and entrepreneurialprowess that they have pioneered.

Partnership 2000 representsa dynamic model that can be replicated in all areas and segments of the state and its economy. The goal of Partnership 2000 is to be a catalyst and provide the 'seed' funds for activities that business, industry, labor, government, and educationcan voluntarily implement in its local area. Colleges that bave been provided with 'seed' funds are now writing proposals to "institutionalize" and "spiral out" those activities based on successful pre-planning and planning activities. Whereas, in the past, Partnership 2000 continuedto guide and subsidize each program, now, a new institution will supervise and direct the institutionalized activities. The High Technology Demonstration Project, housedat Los Angeles City College and funded by the Chancellor's Office, CaliforniaCommunity Colleges will include the institutionalization of telecommunications. West Los Angeles College, City College of San Francisco,and San Jose State University are writing proposalsto institutionalize Aviation and Aeronautics activities for Fiscal, 1992. During 1991-1992, Partnership 2000 will be validatingManufacturing Technology issues with another "Issues Forum" and theenergy and environmental activities will be extended into the ResponsiveEnergy Technology Symposium and International Exhibition(RETSIE). 2. 7 Through "Issues Forums"conducted thisyear, the Core Advisory Committee recommendedto refer health occupationconcerns to the
