College for provision of a "Bridge" and "Pre-Bridge" Career Pathways Project Program.
BACKGROUND: (Continued)
out-of school youth to develop the"soft skills" necessary to succeed in college and the workplace. Los Medanos
College (LMC) developed these Career Pathways Project(CPP) programs ("Bridge Program"and "Pre-Bridge
Program")to recruit and refer out-of-school and foster youth to the Bridge Programs at Los Medanos College
Campus in Pittsburg. This program will enable these students to satisfy pre-requisites for math and English for
subsequent enrollment in college and the CPP. Enrollment in the CPP program will constitute full-time student
status, enabling students to meet the threshold eligibility requirement for state and federal financial aid. The Bridge
Programs are designed to increase the math and language skills of these youth to help them gain employment in
after school programs throughout the county and/or guide them to pursue higher education in targeted career
pathways in growth industries such as healthcare, bioscience, construction, manufacturing and refining.
