May & June Opportunities
0 Comments
 Some stories remind us why adult education matters so deeply, and this is one of them. With tremendous courage, Zhan Xu left his home country of China, said goodbye to everyone he loved, and arrived in the United States. With limited English, he had one driving purpose: to build a life doing what he was passionate about, working with cars. He dove headfirst into Hacienda La Puente Adult Education's Automotive Technician CTE program with the heart of a true lifelong learner, and in just one semester, he earned his A6 ASE certification, a remarkable achievement that speaks to his grit, his focus, and his belief that it is never too late to start over and dream big. We are so proud to watch him take every lesson, every skill, and every ounce of hard-earned knowledge and pour it into his ultimate goal: opening his very own auto repair shop someday soon.

April & May Opportunities  Late winter has been a busy time around the state in the CCAE world. At the end of February, Central Section held it’s Awards Dinner at the Wyndham Hotel in Visalia and the following awardees were honored:
Another late winter section event was the North/Far North Professional Development Event held in Redding, California. The momentum gained by two consecutive years of professional development in this northern most part of the state is sure to be the beginning of more CCAE activity in the future.
We look forward to CCAE Leg. Day in mid-April and the CCAE State Conference at the end of the month, and we hope to see you at one or both of these important events! Additional information to come. March & April Opportunities  Ms. Julia Rosario joined the Division of Adult & Career Education (DACE) family in the Los Angeles Unified School District in 1986, beginning her career in the administrative offices at Third Street Annex. After nearly a decade of service, she transitioned into teaching in 1995, and has never looked back. With 35 years in the classroom, Ms. Rosario has dedicated her career to preparing students for success in the workforce. She has trained and guided students into careers as Office Managers, Office Technicians, Data Entry Clerks, Receptionists, Administrative Assistants, Accounting Clerks, and more. Her high expectations, unwavering dedication, and commitment to excellence are key ingredients in her students’ achievements.
