San Mateo Pride's Ishani Dugar presented a concise but well-rounded summary of the resources available to the LGBTQ+ community and allies to an avid audience of students and faculty. Listeners posed questions and walked away with knowledge and rainbow swag. We are grateful to San Mateo Pride and all the people and organizations making this world better for all of us! 🌈 All month we'll have a table set up for folks to access resources and grab an ally pin!

Shine in the workplace by earning a low-cost credential!

84% of adult school students earn a credential during their adult education, reports the California Employment Development Department. Earning a credential prepares a student for their career, demonstrating to employers their proven knowledge and, in some cases, hands-on ability to succeed within their field.

At San Mateo Adult and Career Education, these credentials include certificates necessary for careers in phlebotomy, dispensing optometry, building trades, and pharmacy tech (our students recently achieved a 100% pass rate for this certification!).

Take the next step towards your credential with SMACE! https://sanmateoadulted.asapconnected.com

A diploma is more than a piece of paper: it’s your ticket to a higher-paying career. According to the California Employment Development Department, adults with a high school diploma or general educational development (GED) certificate earn 38% more pay per week than adults without one.

It’s never too late to graduate—San Mateo Adult and Career Education offers individualized courses that result in credits towards your high school diploma. We offer classes year-round and are proud to support our adult students as they lay the foundation for their education and career.
