Los Angeles Mission College (LAMC) will prepare community college and high school students for jobs in biotechnology. The new programs developed will explicitly address skill development and offer students counseling, tutoring, industry field trips, external speakers, and internship opportunities. Combined with excellent instruction in the classroom, these activities will prepare students for entry-level, middle-skill technician positions. LAMC serves a large underrepresented student body and will provide these students with employment opportunities in a high growth sector that needs a skilled workforce. Project evaluation will focus on measuring student progression, success, retention, and degree attainment.LAMC will develop new academic pathways and curricula in biotechnology leading to stackable certificates and an Associate of Science degree. Stackable credentials will prepare students to enter the workforce in a short period of time while retaining the opportunity to pursue higher degrees at a later date. It will also allow for flexibility that will contribute to student retention and success. The project will provide high school students an opportunity to earn college credit and credentials that will ultimately assist them in obtaining employment.

洛杉矶使命学院 (LAMC) 将为社区学院和高中学生提供生物技术工作的准备。新开发的项目将明确解决技能发展问题，并为学生提供咨询、辅导、行业实地考察、外部演讲者和实习机会。结合课堂上的出色教学，这些活动将为学生担任入门级、中等技能的技术人员职位做好准备。 LAMC 为大量代表性不足的学生群体提供服务，并将为这些学生提供在需要熟练劳动力的高增长行业的就业机会。项目评估将侧重于衡量学生的进步、成功、保留和学位获得情况。LAMC 将开发生物技术方面的新学术途径和课程，以获得可叠加的证书和理学副学士学位。可堆叠的证书将使学生做好在短时间内进入劳动力市场的准备，同时保留日后攻读更高学位的机会。它还将提供灵活性，有助于学生的保留和成功。该项目将为高中生提供获得大学学分和证书的机会，最终帮助他们就业。
