Leilani Jefferies, Intern
My name is Leilani
Jefferies, and I will
be interning here at
Fast Track To Work
throughout
this
academic year while
I
complete
a
master’s program in
social work at San
Jose State University.
As a social work
intern,
I
can
connect you with
services you may
need both at
Cabrillo and in
the
larger
community,
as
well
as
offer

om. I look forward to
Fast Track To Work
meeting you.
We are currently
evaluating
our
program
and
services here at Fast
Track To Work, and
we would greatly
appreciate your help
in the process.
As a participant in
our program, you are
in a perfect position
to describe how the
program has helped
you, and where it
has
fallen
short.
That is what this
survey is about: your
experiences with our
program and your
thoughts about your
experiences.
We are sending
this survey to all of
our 275 participants.
We will carefully
consider
your
comments
and
use
them
to
adjust
our

you say will be
identified
with
you
personally.
Please take the
time to complete
this survey and
return it by mail
using the prea d d r e s s e d
envelope or drop
it by our office
before 12/09/05.
Your

your
needs and improve
our program, which
will
ultimately
benefit you. Thank
you
for
your
cooperation.

It’s Registration Time Again
Alicia Hernandez, Program Specialist
I know that while getting
through the last of your
midterms, you’re not ready
to even think about
the
upcoming Winter Session.
However, now is the time to
decide on a class and register
before the one you want gets
filled. Winter Session is a
short four weeks and few
classes are offered compared
to a regular semester, so they
fill quickly. Hawk Talk and
Web Advisor registration
started Oct. 31 and are
available through Jan. 2.
office (room 802) to get a
copy of your educational
plan, or to make an
appointment to meet with

revise your ed plan to reflect

Are You Ready For Winter
Session?
If you are not sure which
class you should take, you

Many things can stand

you need, but Fast Track is

the process. And don’t forget,

The
kids
are
going
to
love
this!
The "Book Group" has chosen us as the
recipients of their Holiday wish for
children! This means that there will be a
Holiday gift (book) for each FTTW child. Please
come by the office
starting the week
of December 5th to
collect a Holiday gift
(book) for each of
your
children.
Please sign the thank
you card when you
drop by.
Hope this finds you well as we head into
the last of the fall semester. Just wanted to
say hello and remind all of you of the
November 14th deadline to petition for your
graduation certificate and/or degree. If you
are reading this past November 14, please
give me a call to discuss alternatives.
If you are not already signed up for the
four week Intersession in January, now is the
time to enroll. If the class you are wanting to
take is already full, give me a call and we can
brainstorm alternative possibilities for
January coursework.
You all are so awesome to be in school
pursuing your goals here at Cabrillo College.
We at Fast Track To
Work feel honored to
be working with all of
you.
Stay in touch,
Claire
Rubach,

Does

scaled by a man who knows the secret of making dreams come
true. This special secret can be summarized in four C’s. They
are: curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the
greatest of these is confidence."
