College and Career Readiness
The College and Career Readiness department is dedicated to empowering and preparing students in our region for successful transitions to post-secondary education, training, and the workforce.
Part of the San Joaquin County Office of Education’s STEM, Workforce Development, and Innovation department, College and Career Readiness aims to assist students, educators, and school districts through a range of comprehensive, equitable, and innovative college and career readiness programs, services, and support.
By strengthening collaboration between K-12 schools, higher education institutions, apprenticeships, and training programs, the department helps streamline the transition process and promote access for all students. Additionally, the department fosters partnerships with local businesses and industries to provide relevant career exploration and work-based learning opportunities, such as apprenticeships and internships, to build a workforce-ready applicant pool that meets the needs of our county.
