Survey will ask seniors what programs they’d like to see.
Local community colleges are recruiting a different type of senior: older adults.
“Community colleges across California have seen almost a 10% decrease across the board in community college students,” Davis said. “Many of us are taking a fresh perspective on how we can serve the population we have.”Davis said elementary, middle and high school student bodies have been on a steady decline across the Bay Area over the past few years. Families are moving out of the area, having fewer kids or not moving to the area in the first place.
West Valley College’s current adult program is a non-credited set of classes that older adults can take at random. The new classes would include a curated track of courses that help seniors earn certificates or build new career skills.
