What is CARE?
Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education
CARE is a program which represents a cooperative effort involving Cabrillo College, CalWORKs & California Employment Development Department. CARE assists in linking education, job training and supportive services for single parents on welfare.
Program Goals
It is the intent of Cabrillo College that CalWORKs participants be given an opportunity to expand their education and job training opportunities, and thereby enhance their employability and minimize their need for CalWORKs.
