Tricia Evans presented the CAA Grant, a $1.5 million consortium of Orange
County colleges for placing people who are not currently in these industries
(including SCC, OEC students, Goodwill and Rescue Mission patrons) “into the
pipeline” for high demand careers in survey, water science and public works.
Golden State and PSOMAS corporations are online to hire these students. If the
grant is approved, SCC will receive $215,000 of the $1.5 million. The deadline for
submission is February 22, with a start date of June 30th, and duration of one year.
