In March, I shared a letter from a two-year college I worked with that had great success with dual enrollment: San Diego City College. Last week, they graduated ten high school students from their program—all receiving Associate Degrees in Manufacturing Engineering Technology. Six of the 10 are women; the Good Morning San Diego Television show interviewed one of the graduates and the dual enrollment coordinator. This is a great clip; don’t miss it. These high school students graduated from college before they graduated from high school!
If you missed the letter, here is an excerpt:
“Our Department has plans to continue to use the skills and competencies developed through the WomenTech training program to recruit more women and generate more graduates for our Engineering & Technology programs.
We are currently appropriating local funds to extend this highly successful dual-enrollment program to other regional high schools in 2024.”
I’d like to help your program institute a similar dual enrollment strategy in one year or less. I’ve opened up some new times on my calendar to talk to you.
