People often associate Back-to-School season with younger students. Usually, back-to-school shopping is associated with looking for deals on new clothes or uniforms, pencils and paper and other school supplies.
But these days, that view is quickly evolving, as more people are returning to school to obtain new job skills or transition in their careers. Our regional education providers are adapting to those changes to meet the demands.
MiraCosta College, for example, recently opened its new Technology Career Institute to train skilled workers for jobs in manufacturing and biotechnology and machinists, a move made possible by a $2.75 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor.
Meanwhile, Cal State University San Marcos, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, is launching new programs in cybersecurity and hospitality management, a response to feedback it has received from the business community and other stakeholders.
The truth is that whatever your educational aspirations are, either for yourself or for your children, there are many institutions around that can help you attain your goals. Because it's never too late or too early to learn more, this section is meant to give you a taste of what's possible here in Carlsbad and the region.
