If you are looking to enhance
your college curriculum or improve
your work experience, the Life and
Career Options Program (LCOP),
taught' in the Family Resource
Center, may be just the thing to put
you on a positive track.
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

Do you find it a bit annoying to be
a musician, an actor, or an actress
working in a classroom enviomment?
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. For more info, call the
FRC at ext. 2456.
