Career & College Readiness
Solano County Office of Education's College and Career Readiness (CCR) program provides coordination and professional development for career pathways offered in Solano County school districts.
The CCR program offers essential skills workshops to students enrolled in career pathways in the county high schools and college and career development specialists promote connections with industry partners through work-based learning activities and experiences. The College and Career Readiness department also facilitates a partnership between the Solano County Office of Education, Solano County school districts, Chambers of Commerce, and the Solano County Workforce Development Board to offer a Work-Ready! Certification program for students.
SCOE has created short videos highlighting some of the Career Technical Education (CTE) and College Readiness programs across Solano County.
Work-Ready! Certificate program
The Work-Ready! Certificate Program for students is a three week workshop providing over twenty hours of work related instruction and support. The program helps students locate job opportunities, learn interview skills and develop a resume. Workshop topics include: time management, resume writing, job search & application cover letters, work ethic, customer service, teamwork, appropriate dress, interview techniques, and mock interviews. The Work-Ready! Certificate program is coordinated by the Solano County Office of Education in partnership with local Chambers of Commerce and is presented in school districts throughout Solano County.
