Students can prepare for a job as an Early Childhood Assistant Teacher by earning an assistant teacher credential in just one semester at no cost. Qualified students – those eligible for a Board of Governors Fee Waiver (BOGFW) and English 90 – are encouraged to take advantage of this free program.

Information about the program, which is presented by the Los Medanos College Early Childhood Education Career Advancement Academy, will be available at a free informational session on Saturday, Oct. 29 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. in the LMC Library Community Room (L109), 2700 E. Leland Road in Pittsburg. To reserve a space, RSVP to www.losmedanos.edu/careeradvancement, e-mail David Wahl at dwahl@losmedanos.edu or call 925-439-2181, ext. 3214.

The LMC academy is part of the East Bay Career Advancement Academies, a regional workforce development initiative led jointly by the Contra Costa and Peralta Community College Districts.
