Students who are selected to attend the College 2 Career program at Long Beach City College have important responsibilities. They are required to enroll in a certificate or degree program, and work towards eventual employment after graduation. 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. While all of the students are making great progress, two have recently been recognized for outstanding achievement, with scholarship awards from Long Beach City College.
