"We Fund Dreams, One Student At A Time."
The Chaffey College Alumni Association partners with the Foundation on the Fund-A-Dream Scholarship Program, believing that no individual that desires an education at Chaffey College should be denied due to a lack of funds.
The Fund-A-Dream program is a great way for businesses to invest in their own workforce, helping to bridge the gap between basic education and actual career preparedness. The program allows business owners to provide the necessary funds to for individuals to receive training in specific trades - such as nursing, health care, graphic design, computer technology, and automobile and aviation repair.
No one argues the value of education - all of us see that education changes lives by creating opportunity, and we realize that works to create a positive effect in the community at-large. However, there is a gap between employer expectations and student preparedness:
Research has shown that 70% of San Bernardino County high school students will graduate, yet only 14% of those graduates proceed directly into a college, university or trade school.
The remaining 86% of graduates, plus those that drop out before graduation, make up the bulk of the workforce pool - receiving specific training through their employer.
What that means: 90% of HS students do not receive advanced general education (critical thinking, communication, etc.) and are not completely prepared to enter the workforce.
