Community Colleges

In California, the community college system offers scholars young and old an opportunity to improve their education. Traditionally, community colleges were two-year colleges that provided vocation training or other basic college-level coursework for students looking to transfer to a four-year educational institution afterwards.

However, community colleges also cater to those seeking to improve their job skills or those seeking a new career. The last few years have demonstrated that the only constant is change. Some jobs are transferred overseas. Some jobs have disappeared completely. And other jobs now require new skills - such as computer experience. Community colleges are one option for those seeking to meeting the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.
