Meeting with a CalWORKs Counselor
A Calworks counselor will evaluate each student’s individual case and recommend the best course of study. Once a course of study is selected, the counselor will also assist the student in developing an educational plan. The educational plan will outline the specific courses needed to achieve the student’s educational goal. If the educational plan is not followed, the student may not be eligible to receive MJC CalWORKS services.
Selecting a Course of Study
Students are able to work towards an Associate of Arts degree. However, due to time limits set by the county, CalWORKs students are encouraged to pursue a certificate program. The following programs are the most commonly recommended:
Auto Body Bookkeeping Child Development Clerical Construction Management Culinary Arts Dental Assisting Electronic Technology Emergency Medical Technician Fire Science Human Services Medical Assisting Nursing Office Administration
