| Yosemite Community College District/Modesto Junior College intends to use its Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting Communities (HSIAC) grant to stimulate economic development in the community of Patterson, California, through an innovative project that establishes a Career and Education Resource Center (CERC) to assess, educate, train, and refer local residents to local jobs; and a Sustainability Awareness Campaign that informs community residents of home energy performance measures and publicizes the resources of the Center. Three specific activities have been developed to accomplish the goal of this project: - Patterson community residents will access local employment and education resources and services. A Career and Education Resource Center will be established at the MJC Patterson Campus site to provide Patterson community residents with comprehensive employment and education referral services. Information will be available in English and Spanish.
- One hundred eighty individuals will complete training in one or more of the following areas: General Equivalency Diploma, English as a Second Language, 21st century employment skills, computer literacy skills, principles of sustainability, photovoltaic system installation, and/or home energy performance. Three hundred fifty Patterson residents will increase knowledge of energy saving principles and actions they can apply in their homes.
