UC Involvement with California
Communities and Businesses
The students, faculty, staff and alumni of the
University of California are involved in a wide array of programs
that benefit the community — from health care and affordable
housing to school improvements and arts programs. Throughout California,
the UC family is working hand in hand with local agencies and community
members to solve critical social problems. They contribute thousands
of hours as volunteers in after-school programs and other community
settings.
Campus Web Pages on Community Involvement

BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
California’s economy is now the sixth largest in
the world, and is driven by knowledge-intensive industry “clusters”
such as biotech, telecommunications and information technology.
These clusters form a key link between UC research, UC-trained workers,
individual companies and the future of California’s economy.
Today, the groundwork for California’s future economic growth
is being laid at UC campuses by new research discoveries and the
next generation of scientists, engineers and business leaders.
The economic and social benefits derived from
UC innovations and knowledge are greatest when that research can
be quickly used by industry and put into practical applications
and products for the office and home.
UC is involved in the entire continuum of workforce
training – from preparing high-school students for college
to university degree programs to continuing education courses. The
370,000 jobs directly dependent on UC expenditures represent more
than 2% of all employment in California (2002). These workers bring
prosperity and stability to businesses, families and neighborhoods
throughout the state.
