Dear Santa Clara County Community,
We are in uncharted waters with school shut downs during the Covid 19 Pandemic. Because many will be working with students at home, we wanted to share with you some important free resources from the CDE. Though some of these resources do have a fee for more access, all have free access at basic levels. We hope you take some time to research career choices (Career Zone is an excellent resource) and start touring virtually all your future college and careers. I will continue to update this webpage for more resources in college and career.

Panelists in the webinar will be healthcare professionals and Bay Area Community College professors/program directors in healthcare training programs. These are teachers who will work with your students as they progress to college and train them to be empathetic healthcare providers. Community College faculty are committed to diversifying the healthcare workforce believing that culturally competent care develops trust and leads to better health outcomes. The faculty are diverse and students will see themselves reflected in the panelists.
The programs represented will include the most popular CTE programs in Community Colleges and include community health worker, dental hygiene, dental assisting, cardiovascular technology, ECHO, health information technology, medical assisting, nursing, paramedics, pharmacy technology, radiologic technology, respiratory therapy and veterinary technology.
We all look forward to meeting your students and empowering them with information about healthcare careers choices.

On April 22, 2020, SVEF hosted the "COVID-19 Detour to College Panel" to provide college admissions answers in uncertain times. The virtual panel included college and university leaders sharing insights with over 200 community members. It was the first time UC, Cal State, and community and private college professionals had gathered to share their perspectives on the situation with the community.
