Clatsop Community College Lives in Transition Program Expands to Serve Latina Community

Clatsop Community College’s Lives in Transition (LIT) Program has announced an expansion specifically for the Latina Community. The new program, Transiciones Costa, will be taught in Spanish. The culturally-appropriate program will align with the goals found in Lives in Transition, and will provide an educational forum for Latina adult learners. Topics covered will include: learning about Clatsop Community College resources, exploring career and work possibilities, developing basic computer skills, enhancing self-esteem, improving communication skills, exploring life goals, and establishing educational goals.  

 

Transiciones Costa includes two classes. One class will be taught each term and classes will alternate from term to term. Both three-credit classes are free to participants. The Winter Term class will meet on Wednesday mornings, 9:00am-11:50am, beginning January 7, 2015.

Lives in Transition programs are designed to support adult learners complete or continue their education. Program participants typically see themselves as displaced homemakers, single parents, or dislocated workers. Lives in Transition encourages students to develop greater self-awareness about their educational goals, enhance self-esteem, overcome personal barriers, and establish clear career directions.
