PROGRAMS & SERVICES

COLLEGE TO CAREER PROGRAM (C2C)

The mission of the College to Career program is to create and promote Career and Technical Education opportunities leading to gainful employment, for students with intellectual disabilities and/or autism in postsecondary education.

WHAT IS THE COLLEGE TO CAREER (C2C) PROGRAM?

The College to Career Program is a three-year program designed to help students with intellectual disabilities and/or autism obtain employment in Sonoma County and in the career area of their choice. The C2C program at SRJC is one of eight such programs in the State of California and partners with Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) and Department of Developmental Services (DDS)

Admission is a competitive process and C2C only accepts about 20 new students annually. Students who seek admission to C2C are required to submit an application and attend an interview with our C2C Coordinator.

The College to Career Program spans three years, culminating in competitive paid employment for students with intellectual disabilities and/or autism. Students take classes as a cohort, as well as participate in college classes and activities individually. Below is an overview of program course offerings and activities.

This program qualifies as a comprehensive transition program, a federal designation that allows for financial aid to students in the program.

DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING PROGRAM (DHH)

The Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program(DHH)  provides services for Deaf and hard of hearing students on all campus locations of Santa Rosa Junior College. Deaf and hard of hearing students receive a full range of accommodations to assist them in achieving their academic and personal goals.

Accommodations include: interpreting, captioning, note-taking, assistive listening devices, and testing accommodations. Additionally, students have access to the various services available to all students, including transfer assistance, vocation counseling and tutoring.

Many students participate in extracurricular activities, such as playing on sports teams, attending SRJC cultural events and joining campus clubs. The Disability Resources Department faculty, staff and interpreters strive to provide access and support so that all Deaf and hard of hearing students can be successful.
