LCOP topics include stress and time management, self-esteem growth, interviewing skills and resume writing. Students take per sonality tests, skill assessments and career exercises that are intended as a guide toward post-college ¡suc cess. The college has waived the tuition on this six credit course. “LCOP is a very complementary program for people that are study ing in college but maybe not know ing how they’re going to target themselves on a job,” said instruc tor Jackie Hubka, M.A. “There are a lot of people [at Clackamas] get ting liberal arts educations; and they really don’t know what they’re good at, or what their passions are. They don’t necessarily know what type of work they’re drawn to. They’re just studying academics. And before they finish, this is a great class to help them decide what is compatible for them.” “The idea is that you develop clarity about your direction, not by just brainstorming1 job titles to see which one fits, but to step back and break it down into pieces and iden Œ CD D öT All reports are taken from CCC’s public safe- ty incident logs.

This spring you will no longer have to sweat this issue. The new Arts and Communication building, set to go up just North of the Gregory Forum, will expand the music and theater department by at least double its already growing size. Right now, the main band room, located on the top floor of the Randall building can house only about 30 to 35 students max. According- to music head Tom Wakeling, the new “grow our pro gram” building, will be able to accommodate 55 to 65 students. Wakeling says that since the new con struction is funded by grants, $14 million worth to be exact, “cutbacks will not affect the outcome of this building, but they may, however, affect the programs we decide to teach.” There will be some added equip ment, most of which will be for the Campus O Z5 tify skills, interests, values, prefer ences arid personality strengths. Then you see what that adds up to, and then you have something to explore,” said instructor Gail Nicholson, M.A. “Career satisfac tion is possible, and there are steps that you can go through to increase it.” Having graduated 3800 individ uals since its 1983 inception, the program still does not see the num bers of students it would like. Hubka believes that this is due in part to the misperception that the program is, solely for displaced homemakers — women just starting in the workplace after having kids or having left their marriage, for example. However, LCOP can and does help participants from a vari ety of backgrounds, including dislo cated workers who have lost their jobs, retirees who would like to explore their options, students who are newly graduating and want to develop workplace negotiation skills, and students who have dropped a class and need to make up some credits. The college views LCOP as so beneficial to developing essential life skills that the tuition has been waived. There is only a small charge to cover the cost of the text book and testing done during the class. The FRC offers several other individual development classes. Bridges, a “junior LCOP,” is aimed at 16-22 year old GED or high school diploma recipients who want to build their skills in their transi tion to college or career. In this six credit tuition-free course students are trained in campus and commu nity resources, effective communi cation skills, and developing an action plan for their future. z Early Childhood Education and Family Studies, Women’s Studies, Pre-employment Training and the Young Parent Opportunity Program are other.programs offered through the FRC.
