College 2 Career Students Recognized

January 2013

Students who are selected to attend the College 2 Career program at Long Beach City College have important responsibilities.

As they move into student housing, they learn to maintain their own student apartments, become mobile around the community, and work together with their newfound friends and roommates. 12 students kicked off the program in 2011, and six more have joined them in year two.
