Since our greatest population is students aged 24 through 32, they may come to MJC with viable work experience, previous apprenticeships, or even foreign education. If we can offer them credit for courses such as introductory courses that lead to a certificate or degree, we can help them complete their goal in a more timely manner, increaseing their chances of getting a raise or a new job.
