Adapting to a changing world: community colleges and their students are doing things differently these days
Linda Filippi had been a paralegal for years when she decided to change careers in her early fifties. … She chose Shoreline Community College .... Going to a community college, rather than a university, “would get me working as a nurse much quicker,” she says.
The new buzzword is “career pathways.” “We’ve designed career pathways — students can work for a while and then go back to school or work part-time when they’re going to school, so that people are not stuck in dead-end jobs,” elaborates Dr. Paula Boyum, vice president for workforce development at Bellevue College.
“The general thinking today is pathways,” agrees Dr. Ron Hamberg, vice president for instruction at Seattle Central Community College. “Our focus is on getting people started so that they can go to work, and can come back later and add on more training.”
Resource list also includes: Cascadia, Edmonds, Lake Washington, North Seattle, Renton, South Seattle, SVI, checkoutacollege.com
