“It took me a few years to find out what I’m passionate about. I was a sociology major but it wasn’t what I wanted to do in the long-run. When I learned about the industrial automation and robotics program, I became immediately interested because the program was developed in partnership with Tesla,” said Luz Mendoza.
Kelsey Mayeda knows the impact of a community college education. As a CCC alumna, she understands the meaningful role the institutions play in shaping a student’s journey.
Recent studies show that working adults and adult learners are seeking greater flexibility both at work and in the way they learn.
