ONE GROUP OF STUDENTS FLED COMMUNITY COLLEGE IN RECORD NUMBERS DURING THE PANDEMIC. CAN THESE SCHOOLS LURE THEM BACK?
Community colleges saw record declines in enrollment during the pandemic, but students 50 years and older fell the farthest. Now, some colleges are trying to reel them back in.

Grizzled
farmworkers are the hot new commodity as community colleges try to reverse a years-long enrollment decline.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the “golden age” of higher education — where more and more adults were attending college every year — came to a halt, and California’s community college enrollment plummeted to a 30-year low.
The state community college system lost hundreds of thousands of students, but it was those 50 years and older who left at the highest rates compared to other age groups.
From Siskiyou County, on the border with Oregon, to the Inland Empire, college leaders told CalMatters how older, low-income adults often had to work “essential” jobs or to step back into the workforce to support their families. Because of their age, they faced an increased risk of COVID-19. Many were less comfortable using Zoom or they lacked an adequate internet connection for online classes. As a result, these older students left their college ambitions to the wayside during the pandemic.
Now they are also trying to reel older students back in with new programs and concerted outreach efforts. While some colleges have managed to buck the downward trends, others have found themselves competing for the same students.
Enrolling farmworkers
During the pandemic, the College of the Sisikyous saw one of the biggest enrollment declines across all age groups.
With roughly 2,500 fewer students total in 2021-22 compared to the 2018-19 academic year, the College of the Siskiyous could lose about $2.3 million dollars — just over 10% of its total funding.
Compared to other age groups, students over 50 years old left at the highest rates. And it’s a problem that’s been happening for years, even before the pandemic: COVID-19 was just “the straw that broke the camel’s back,” said Samantha Worthington, who oversees adult education at the college. Instead, the college’s enrollment issues began as a result of competition from other schools.
Similar to many California community colleges, which have looked to out-of-state residents and even international students, administrators at the College of the Siskiyous started to look beyond the county line about seven years ago, especially for older students.
The college partnered with an organization called the Farmworker Institute on Education and Leadership Development to offer classes to farmworkers who live hundreds of miles south in places such as Monterey and Kern counties. Often, these students study to improve their English, to learn new career skills, or work towards a degree.
In the 2017-18 academic year, the College of the Siskiyous enrolled 827 farmworkers over the age of 50 in the program.
This year, the College of the Siskiyous has 11 such students over 50 years old.
Along with consistently low wages, these farmworkers had high rates of COVID-19 infection and few worker protections that ultimately pushed them away from classes, Worthington said.
Community college enrollment decline and competition
The decline in students is also because other colleges — faced with their own declining enrollment numbers — saw an opportunity to target the same students.
In 2021, Bakersfield College launched a partnership with the same nonprofit organization to target local farmworkers and declined to sign the collaborative contract it had previously made with the College of the Siskiyous.
In the course of a few years, Bakersfield College launched a flurry of new initiatives, all aimed at boosting enrollment for older students. Administrators opened new teaching centers in South Bakersfield and in the rural town of Wasco. They created a new program to educate people experiencing homelessness and another one, in partnership with the local school district, to teach parents about child development.
From the 2018-19 academic year to 2021-22, the most recent year with verified enrollment data, Bakersfield saw an increase of more than 41% in students over the age of 50, the largest increase of all the state’s 116 community colleges.
Bakersfield College is also a leader in enrolling high school students. In fact, the new California Community College Chancellor Dr. Sonya Christian — a former Bakersfield College president — has said she wants to enroll every 9th grader in a college course, something she first piloted in Kern County.
Now, College of the Siskiyous has turned its attention from farmworkers to prisoners, joining the many colleges who seek to enroll more incarcerated students. The college is also preparing for budget cuts. For example, Fields said the college is canceling classes with only five or six students.
Popularity of noncredit courses
The key to recruiting and retaining older students lies in the way which classes are taught, but most colleges aren’t making the necessary changes, said Kathy Booth, a project director at the education research group WestEd.
To lure older students to school, community colleges need to offer flexible and engaging courses that have clear and specific career outcomes. “The most frequent award that’s given out is a general studies associate’s degree,” she said. “There are very few employers that are asking for associate’s degrees outside of a few technical fields, so that sort of general education is less valuable to a working adult.”
Instead, adults over the age of 50 often want to take noncredit courses, which do not count toward degrees. Noncredit courses are short, free and typically vocational, covering topics such as HVAC repair.
But across the state, colleges struggled to move many of the most popular noncredit courses, such as those in automotive repair, healthcare, and early childhood development, to an online format.
In the 2021-22 academic year, Mt. San Antonio College had about 34,000 students taking noncredit classes, the largest volume of students in the state. Like most colleges, Mt. San Antonio saw a drop in the number of students over 50 who enrolled since the start of the pandemic.
Madelyn Arballo, the vice president of continuing education, is not worried, though. “The first year of the pandemic was really bad, but the second year, we rebounded,” she said. Arballo expects that the college has already reached pre-pandemic levels once the final numbers are tallied for the recent spring semester.
Moving quickly
Arballo attributed some of Mt. San Antonio’s success to her department putting together new classes and certificates quickly, such as a course on COVID-19 contact tracing that it offered for just a few months. Of the 103 students who enrolled in contact tracing courses in the 2021-22 academic year, 41% were over the age of 46, she wrote to CalMatters.
Instead of telling prospective students why they should go to college, she tries to tell students what they could earn or do after college: Contact tracers, for instance, were making $25 an hour at the time the class was running.
Even though these adult students often start out taking one or two quick, noncredit classes, they may end up working towards an associate’s degree, or even transferring to a four-year university, once they realize the earning potential of a bachelor’s degree, said Arballo.
Marcelo Baca, 62, started taking noncredit courses last year in an effort to get his GED, but he isn’t stopping there. He plans to graduate with an associate’s degree in business and then transfer to California State University Fullerton to ultimately become a financial advisor.
It’s not his first attempt at a degree. He immigrated from Argentina in 1989 to attend community college in Orange County, but he couldn’t afford it and dropped out. He became undocumented and despite living in the state for decades, he was ineligible for financial aid. When he was finally in a position to restart school, he said he was diagnosed with colon cancer, and later, sent to the ICU for complications due to COVID-19.
Now he’s finally pursuing his dream, even if his children beat him to it.
“I may be super old, but I don’t care.”

HOW TO CONTROL YOUR ASTHMA WHEN OUTDOOR AIR QUALITY IS BAD
CÓMO CONTROLAR SU ASMA CUANDO LA CALIDAD DEL AIRE EXTERIOR ES MALA
StatePoint
a lung disease that makes breathing difficult for over 24 million Americans, is often exacerbated by air pollution and the effects of climate change. However, understanding how the environment impacts asthma can help you minimize your exposure to air pollutants and prepare for extreme weather events.
Asthma,
As part of its Promoting Asthma Friendly Environments through Partnerships and Collaborations Project, the American Lung Association is offering these important insights:
1. Outdoor Air Pollution. While outdoor air pollution can make breathing more difficult for everyone, it’s particularly harmful to those with asthma, causing symptoms and increased need for medical attention, and to children, whose lungs are still growing and who breathe in more air per pound than adults. Children with asthma can be especially vulnerable to experiencing negative health effects caused by air pollution.
2. Climate Change. The effects of climate change increase air pollutants like ozone, particle pollution pollens, molds from increased rainfall and floods and smoke from wildfires. As temperatures increase, warmer air helps to form ground-level ozone pollution, also known as smog, a powerful air pollutant. Smog acts like a sunburn on your lungs and may trigger an asthma attack. Before doing any activities outside, check the pollution level in your area by visiting Airnow.gov. When the air is bad, limit the time you and family members spend outdoors and try to move outdoor activities inside.
3. Wildfires. In some areas of the country, climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of wildfires, and extending wildfire season. Wildfires produce smoke that contains particle pollution, consisting of dangerous particles tiny enough to
travel deep into the lungs and sometimes even into the bloodstream. Particle pollution can cause asthma attacks, heart attacks, lung cancer and early death. But you don’t need to live in an area prone to wildfire to be impacted. Winds can carry these particles for thousands of miles, meaning many people may have an unknown exposure. Preparation is key to protecting yourself and family. Check out American Lung Association’s resources, which includes information about using N-95 masks for protection and creating a clean room inside your home. Visit lung. org/clean-air/emergencies-and-naturaldisasters/wildfires to learn more.
4. Taking Action. Did you know you can reduce your own contribution to air pollution and climate change? Prioritize walking, biking and public transit over diesel or gasoline-powered vehicles. Conserve electricity and purchase your power from clean, non-combustion sources if you can. Don’t burn leaves or trash and avoid burning wood whenever possible. Additionally, when looking for a place to live or upgrading your home, look for efficient, zeroemission appliances like induction stoves or heat pumps. You may even be able to take advantage of tax incentives for making these upgrades.
If poor air quality, wildfires, pollen and mold cause asthma symptoms or flare-ups, follow your asthma action plan, and call your doctor if your symptoms don’t improve or get worse. To get your asthma under control, check out the American Lung Association’s many resources, found at https:// www.lung.org/lung-health-diseases/lungdisease-lookup/asthma, which align with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s EXHALE strategies. The strategies can help reduce asthma symptoms, prevent emergency hospital visits and help you avoid missing school or work. If you have asthma and have been impacted by poor air quality, consider sharing your story on Lung.org.

Elasma, una enfermedad pulmonar que dificulta la respiración de más de 24 millones de estadounidenses, se ve exacerbada con frecuencia por la contaminación del aire y los efectos del cambio climático. Sin embargo, comprender cómo el medio ambiente afecta el asma puede ayudarle a reducir al mínimo su exposición a los contaminantes del aire y a prepararse para eventos climáticos extremos.
Como parte de su Proyecto de Promoción de Entornos Amigables con el Asma a través de Asociaciones y Colaboraciones, la American Lung Association ofrece estas importantes ideas:
1. Contaminación del aire exterior. Si bien la contaminación del aire exterior puede dificultar la respiración de todos, es particularmente dañina para quienes padecen asma, causando síntomas y una mayor necesidad de atención médica, y para los niños, cuyos pulmones aún están creciendo y que respiran más aire por libra que los adultos. Los niños con asma pueden resultar especialmente vulnerables a sufrir efectos negativos para la salud causados por la contaminación del aire.
2. Cambio climático. Los efectos del cambio climático aumentan los contaminantes del aire como el ozono, el polen de contaminación por partículas, los mohos debidos al incremento de las lluvias y las inundaciones, y el humo de los incendios forestales. A medida que aumentan las temperaturas, el aire más cálido ayuda a formar contaminación por ozono a nivel del suelo, también conocida como smog, un poderoso contaminante del aire. El smog actúa como una quemadura solar sobre los pulmones y puede desencadenar un ataque de asma. Antes de realizar cualquier actividad al aire libre, verifique el nivel de contaminación en su área visitando Airnow.gov. Cuando el aire es negativo, limite el tiempo que usted y sus familiares pasan al aire libre, y trate de trasladar al interior las actividades al aire libre.
3. Incendios forestales. En algunas zonas del país, el cambio climático está aumentando la frecuencia e intensidad de los incendios forestales y ampliando la temporada de incendios forestales. Los incendios forestales producen humo que contiene contaminación por partículas, que consta de partículas peligrosas
lo bastante pequeñas como para viajar profundamente al interior de los pulmones y, a veces, incluso al torrente sanguíneo. La contaminación por partículas puede causar ataques de asma, ataques cardíacos, cáncer de pulmón y muerte prematura. Pero, no es necesario vivir en un área propensa a incendios forestales para vernos afectados. Los vientos pueden transportar estas partículas a miles de millas, lo que significa que muchas personas pueden sufrir una exposición desconocida. La preparación es clave para protegerse usted y proteger a su familia. Consulte los recursos de la American Lung Association, que incluyen información sobre el uso de mascarillas N-95 para protegerse y crear una habitación limpia dentro de su hogar. Visite lung.org/clean-air/ emergencies-and-natural-disasters/wildfires para obtener más información.
4. Tomar acción. ¿Sabías que puedes reducir tu propia contribución a la contaminación del aire y al cambio climático? Priorice caminar, andar en bicicleta y el transporte público sobre los vehículos diésel o de gasolina. Conserve la electricidad y compre su energía de fuentes limpias que no sean de combustión, si puede. No queme hojas o basura y evite quemar madera siempre que sea posible. Además, cuando busque un lugar para vivir o renueve su hogar, busque electrodomésticos eficientes y de cero emisiones, como estufas de inducción o bombas de calor. Incluso puede aprovechar los incentivos fiscales para realizar estas actualizaciones.
Si la mala calidad del aire, los incendios forestales, el polen y el moho provocan síntomas o brotes de asma, siga su plan de acción para el asma y llame a su médico si sus síntomas no mejoran o empeoran. Para controlar su asma, consulte los muchos recursos de la American Lung Association, que se encuentran en https://www.lung.org/lung-health-diseases/ lung-disease-lookup/asthma, que se alinean con los Centros para el Control de Enfermedades y las estrategias EXHALE de Prevención.
Las estrategias pueden ayudar a reducir los síntomas del asma, prevenir visitas de emergencia al hospital y ayudarlo a evitar faltar a la escuela o al trabajo. Si tiene asma y se ha visto afectado por la mala calidad del aire, considere compartir su historia en Lung.org.

VIVE UN VERANO SEGURO
Family Features
Elverano es una época para divertirse en el parque, acampar, pasear en bote, nadar, andar en bicicleta y otras actividades al aire libre. Al tener más luz de día, pasamos más tiempo fuera y hacemos mayor actividad física, lo que se traduce en una mayor posibilidad de lesiones. Las caídas en los parques, los accidentes con cortadoras de césped, las quemaduras en fogatas son algunas de las lesiones comunes en los niños durante el verano.
“Sufrir una lesión grave puede alterar completamente la vida de un niño,” dijo Chris Smith, presidente de la Junta Directiva de los Hospitales Shriners para Niños®. “Vemos a pacientes todos los días con lesiones causadas por accidentes por lo cual estamos comprometidos a informar al público cómo evitar estos accidentes.”
Los siguientes consejos de los Hospitales Shriners para Niños ayudarán a su familia a disfrutar de un verano divertido y sin lesiones.
Salgamos a Jugar al Aire Libre
Los juegos al aire libre ofrecen beneficios para la salud física y mental, incluyendo mayor ejercicio, expresión creativa, reducción del estrés y acceso a una fuente libre y natural de vitamina D – la luz solar. Antes de enviar a los niños a jugar afuera, asegúrese de que estén usando zapatos que protejan sus pies de cortes, raspaduras y astillas, y protector solar para protegerse contra las quemaduras solares y los rayos ultravioleta.
Parque Infantil Básico
Los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC, por sus siglas en inglés) reportan que los departamentos de emergencia brindan cuidado a más de 200,000 niños menores de 14 años cada año por lesiones ocurridas en los parques infantiles. Antes de que sus hijos vayan a los parques de recreación, tenga en cuenta estas precauciones:
• Elija parques y áreas de juegos que sean apropiados para su edad y ofrezcan superficies que amortigüen golpes.
• Explíquele a sus hijos que empujar y apiñarse en el área de juegos puede resultar en accidentes y lesiones.
• Enséñeles a bajar por el tobogán de uno en uno, esperando hasta que el área esté completamente despejada antes de deslizarse. Enséñeles también a sentarse siempre con las piernas extendidas hacia delante. ¡Insista que NUNCA se deslicen con la cabeza hacia adelante!
• Recuérdele a los niños que deben columpiarse sentados. Además, enséneles que deben esperar hasta que el columpio se detenga para bajarse y que deben tener cuidado al caminar en frente de un columpio en movimiento.
Que el Chapuzón sea Seguro
Sabemos que jugar en la piscina es una de las actividades favoritas del verano, sin embargo, Safe Kids Worldwide informa que el ahogamiento es la causa principal de muertes por lesiones en niños de 1 a 4 años y la tercera causa principal de muertes por lesiones entre las personas menores de 19 años. Además, los Sistemas de Salud de la Universidad de Michigan estiman que unos 6,000 niños menores de 14 son hospitalizados cada año debido a lesiones ocasionadas por clavados en el agua, con 1 de cada 5 sufriendo lesiones a la médula espinal.
Prevenga accidentes y lesiones con estos consejos para garantizar la seguridad de su familia cuando estén cerca del agua:
• Adviértale a los niños que nunca deben nadar solos o estar cerca del agua sin la presencia de un adulto.
• Preste a los niños toda su atención cuando estén nadando o estén cerca del agua.
• Siempre sumérjase con los pies primero para
comprobar la profundidad antes de sumergirse de cabeza en el agua.
• Nunca se tire de cabeza en la parte menos profunda de la piscina o en las piscinas que se encuentran sobre el nivel del suelo.
Diviértase en el Agua
Los paseos en bote y los deportes acuáticos pueden ser muy divertidos, pero también peligrosos. De acuerdo a reportes de la Guardia Costera de Estados Unidos, casi el 71 por ciento de todas las muertes en la navegación son por ahoga-
miento, el 85 por ciento de dichas muertes son el resultado de no usar un chaleco salvavidas. Esto es lo que puede hacer para disfrutar del agua de manera segura:
• Siempre haga que los niños usen un chaleco salvavidas aprobado por la Guardia Costera debidamente ajustado mientras estén en un bote cerca del agua o cuando realicen deportes acuáticos.
• Edúquese usted mismo. De acuerdo con la Guardia Costera de Estados Unidos, el 86 por
ciento de las muertes en accidente de navegación involucran a navegantes que no han completado un curso de seguridad.
•Siempre verifique las condiciones del agua y el pronóstico del tiempo antes de salir a navegar.
Seguridad Contra Incendios Simplificada
Según el CDC, más de 300 niños menores de 19 años son atendidos todos los días en salas de emergencia por lesiones causadas por incendios y quemaduras. Siga estos consejos para reducir los riesgos alrededor del fuego, fuegos artificiales, parrillas y otras fuentes de calor:
• Enseñe a los niños a no jugar nunca con fósforos, gasolina, líquidos inflamables o encendedores. Haga un hábito de colocar estos artículos fuera del alcance de los niños pequeños.
• No deje a los niños solos cerca de parrillas, hogueras o fogatas. Siempre tenga a mano un balde con agua o un extintor de incendios cuando encienda un fuego.
• Lleve a su hijo a un médico o al hospital inmediatamente si sufre una herida en un incendio o por fuegos artificiales.
• Deje los fuegos artificiales a los profesionales. Para obtener más consejos de prevención, folletos o páginas con actividades para niños y aprender cómo convertirse en un “Superhéroe para un Verano Seguro,” visite HospitalesShriners.org/ veranoseguro
Cuando Sucede lo Inesperado
Era un hermoso día soleado cuando Jordan Nerski se dirigió al parque infantil con su madre, como millones de otros niños en las vacaciones de verano. En un minuto Jordan estaba colgándose de las barras y al minuto siguiente estaba en el suelo con una fractura de codo.
Accidentes como estos son la razón por la cual los médicos de las salas de emergencias se refieren a los meses de verano como “temporada de accidentes y lesiones.” Durante estos meses cálidos, llenos de acción, los niños pasan más horas activos y al aire libre; a menudo sin supervisión de un adulto, lo que aumenta el riesgo de lesiones. Cuando se producen estos accidentes, los padres quieren la mejor atención posible para sus hijos.
Afortunadamente, Jackie, la madre de Jordan recibió la recomendación de un amigo que le sugirió que llevara a su hijo a la clínica ambulatoria especializada en fracturas del Hospital Shriners para Niños de Portland.
“La experiencia que tuvimos fue realmente fabulosa,” dijo Jackie Nerski. “Fue un momento estresante ya que mi hijo tenía mucho dolor, pero todo el mundo desde la recepcionista en admisión hasta el médico se esforzaron para que tuviéramos la mejor experiencia posible.”
El proceso fue simple y ágil, Jordan obtuvo primero una placa de rayos X que comprobó su fractura; después ingresó a la clínica especializada en fracturas, allí lo atendieron y enyesaron en menos de 2 horas. Jordan y su madre regresaron a la clínica varias veces para visitas de seguimiento y cada visita fue informativa y placentera.
“En cada consulta, tuvieron sumo cuidado por el bienestar de Jordan y se dieron el tiempo de responder a todas mis preguntas a fin de disminuir mi ansiedad,” dijo Jackie Nerski. “Fue una experiencia fantástica; aunque espero que no se repita, pero si sucede, ya sabemos a dónde ir.”
Incluyendo la ubicación de Portland, hay 22 Hospitales Shriners para Niños en los Estados Unidos, Canadá y México que proporcionan atención especializada a niños con problemas ortopédicos, quemaduras, lesiones a la médula espinal, labio leporino y paladar hendido, sin importar la capacidad de pago de las familias. De estos 22 hospitales, 13 también ofrecen clínicas ambulatorias especializadas en fracturas.

TAKING A PASS ON COLLEGE? CALIFORNIA APPRENTICESHIPS OFFER ANOTHER PATH
What should you do if college isn’t for you? We tackle that question in this installment of our ‘Ask CJN’ column, in which student journalists answer readers’ questions about California higher education. One option for those eschewing college: apprenticeships, which often offer a living wage and a guaranteed job upon completion.
Andrea Madison CalMatters
Afterreceiving a high school diploma, securing a stable, well-paying job is often priority number one for recent graduates in California who decide against pursuing higher education.
If you’ve determined that college isn’t the best next step, you are not alone. About 37% of students graduating from the state’s public high schools don’t go on to attend college.
When the CalMatters College Journalism Network put out a call for questions about college in California, we heard from one reader who was weighing their options.
“If college isn’t for me, what other options should I consider?” they wrote. “I don’t know much about alternative schools or technical schools after getting a high school diploma.”
One path California’s high school graduates can consider is an apprenticeship. Registered apprenticeships provide options for Californians to get paid while learning a trade — like carpentry or plumbing — from skilled industry professionals, and usually get a job afterward. California’s Department of Industrial Relations has traditionally offered apprenticeship programs in the building trades, such as bricklaying and carpentry, but also trains for careers in healthcare, technology, transportation and firefighting, among others. Many, though not all, are tied to labor unions.
The state is set to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to create half a million apprenticeships by 2029. State officials hope to expand apprenticeships in industries where they historically haven’t been offered, like technology or healthcare.
Doug Henderson, the STEAM director at the Val Verde Unified School District, says the ability to earn money right out of school and the prospect of high wages and benefits are the two biggest motivating factors for his students who opt for apprenticeships.
“A lot of these union jobs, you can be making $150,000 a year pretty quickly if you work your way through,” Henderson said. “So within six to eight years, you can be making six figures a year — you make good money.”
Apprentices typically make up a percentage of the wage professionals earn as they work and take courses at a union training center or a local community college. Hourly wages increase as they gain more work experience until they complete the program and start earning professional rates — typically between one and five years.
Someone who maintains and repairs the electrical grid as an apprentice lineman with the CaliforniaNevada Power Lineman Apprenticeship, for example, makes a starting hourly rate of $38.64, or 60% of the $64.40 that professional linemen make. Every six months, their wages increase by 5% until they complete 7,000 hours and a final exam, and begin making the full $64.40.
Starting wages, benefits, program length and application requirements for an apprenticeship can vary widely based on the industry and location within the state.
An apprenticeship with Bricklayers and Tile Layers Local 4 Union, for example, has a minimum hiring age of 17 and no educational prerequisites — but others require a high school diploma, GED, or even a written and oral exam.
Pursuing an apprenticeship starts with choosing career areas of interest, Henderson said. The California Community Colleges offers a career quiz (https://icangotocollege.com/careers) to match in-
dividuals with courses and apprenticeship opportunities.
Pre-apprenticeship programs offer a chance to try out some of the hands-on work of different occupations and decide whether or not it’s an industry you’d like to pursue.
It’s important to keep in mind that different occupations have different physical demands, travel expectations and work environments when considering an apprenticeship opportunity, experts say. Those in the construction industry, for example, can be hard on the body.
If a trade school charges pricey tuition, Henderson said, that’s a red flag: Training in apprenticeships is typically free, though sometimes students have to buy their own equipment. There are some possible drawbacks to choosing an apprenticeship over college, he said. Long-term earning potential is generally higher for people who have college degrees, and it’s typically a path for those who want to work for someone else, rather than being their own boss.
“If you want to be the shot caller, you want to have your own business,” he said.
The freedom of working outdoors and the opportunity to travel around Southern California were things Robert Collins appreciated about his apprenticeship as a bricklayer 40 years ago. Now the apprenticeship director at the Brickmasons Apprenticeship Training Trust in La Verne, Collins said he’s excited to see more investment in apprenticeships.
“At one time it was primarily construction trades, apprenticeships, and now they’ve expanded into other industries as well,” Collins said. “It’s not just construction, it’s all over the place now.”
The Department of Industrial Relations’ Division of Apprenticeship Standards website offers a search tool that lists registered apprenticeships in counties throughout the state, along with requirements and contact information. There are more than 90,000 registered apprentices in California, according to the department, a number expected to rise rapidly over the next six years. As part of last year’s budget, the state earmarked $231 million for apprenticeships in 2022, with $480 million more to be spent on expanding apprenticeship opportunities by 2029.

¿Qué debe hacer si la universidad no es para ti? Una opción para aquellos que prefieren evitar la universidad: oficios como técnicos o aprendices (‘apprenticeships’), que a menudo ofrecen un salario digno y un trabajo garantizado al finalizar.
fesionales mientras trabajan y toman cursos en un centro de capacitación sindical o en un colegio comunitario local. Los salarios por hora aumentan a medida que obtienen más experiencia laboral hasta que completan el programa y comienzan a ganar tarifas profesionales, generalmente entre uno y cinco años.
Alguien que mantiene y repara la red eléctrica como aprendiz de instalador línea con la California-Nevada Power Lineman Apprenticeship, por ejemplo, gana una tarifa inicial por hora de $38.64, o el 60% de los $64.40 que ganan los instaladores profesionales. Cada seis meses, sus salarios aumentan en un 5% hasta que completan 7,000 horas y un examen final, y comienzan a ganar los $64.40 por hora por completo.
Los salarios iniciales, los beneficios, la duración del programa y los requisitos de solicitud para un ‘apprenticeship’ pueden variar ampliamente según la industria y la ubicación dentro del estado.
Un ‘apprenticeship’ con Bricklayers and Tile Layers Local 4 Union, por ejemplo, tiene una edad mínima de contratación de 17 años y no tiene requisitos educativos previos, pero otros requieren un diploma de escuela secundaria, GED o incluso un examen escrito y oral.
CalMatters
Despuésde recibir un diploma de escuela secundaria, asegurar un trabajo estable y bien remunerado suele ser la prioridad número uno para los recién graduados en California que deciden no continuar con la educación superior. Si ha determinado que la universidad no es el mejor próximo paso, no está solo. Alrededor del 37% de los estudiantes que se gradúan de las escuelas secundarias públicas del estado no asisten a la universidad.
Cuando CalMatters College Journalism Network lanzó una convocatoria de preguntas sobre la universidad en California, escuchamos a un lector que estaba sopesando sus opciones.
“Si la universidad no es para mí, ¿qué otras opciones debo considerar?” escribió. “No sé mucho sobre escuelas alternativas o escuelas técnicas después de obtener un diploma de escuela secundaria”.
Un camino que los graduados de la escuela secundaria de California pueden considerar es un oficio técnico conocido en inglés como ‘apprenticeships’.
Los ‘apprenticeships’ registrados brindan opciones para que los californianos reciban un pago mientras aprenden un oficio, como carpintería o plomería, de profesionales calificados de la industria y, por lo general, consiguen un trabajo después. El Departamento de Relaciones Industriales de California ha ofrecido tradicionalmente programas de ‘apprenticeships’ en los oficios de la construcción, como albañilería y carpintería, pero también capacitaciones para carreras en atención médica, tecnología, transporte y extinción de incendios, entre otros. Muchos, aunque no todos, están vinculados a sindicatos.
El estado está dispuesto a gastar cientos de millones de dólares para crear medio millón de puestos de ‘apprenticeships’ para 2029. Los funcionarios estatales esperan expandir los puestos de ‘apprenticeships’ en industrias donde históricamente no se han ofrecido, como tecnología o atención médica.
Doug Henderson, director de STEAM en el Distrito Escolar Unificado de Val Verde, dice que la capacidad de ganar dinero inmediatamente después de la escuela y la perspectiva de salarios y beneficios altos son los dos factores de motivación más importantes para sus estudiantes que optan por los ‘apprenticeships’.
“En muchos de estos trabajos sindicales, puedes ganar $150,000 al año bastante rápido si te abres camino”, dijo Henderson. “Entonces, dentro de seis a ocho años, puede estar ganando seis cifras al año, gana un buen dinero”.
Los que optan por los ‘apprenticeships’ generalmente obtienen un porcentaje del salario que ganan los pro-
La búsqueda de un ‘apprenticeship’ comienza con la elección de áreas profesionales de interés, dijo Henderson. Los Colegios Comunitarios de California ofrecen una prueba de carrera (https://icangotocollege. com/careers) para unir a las personas con cursos y oportunidades de ‘apprenticeship’.
Los programas de pre ‘apprenticeship’ ofrecen la oportunidad de probar algunos de los trabajos prácticos de diferentes ocupaciones y decidir si es o no una industria que le gustaría seguir.
Es importante tener en cuenta que las diferentes ocupaciones tienen diferentes demandas físicas, expectativas de viaje y entornos de trabajo cuando se considera una oportunidad de ‘apprenticeship’, dicen los expertos. Aquellos en la industria de la construcción, por ejemplo, pueden ser duros para el cuerpo.
Si una escuela de oficios cobra una matrícula costosa, dijo Henderson, eso es una señal de alerta: la capacitación en ‘apprenticeship’ suele ser gratuita, aunque a veces los estudiantes tienen que comprar su propio equipo. Hay algunos posibles inconvenientes al elegir un ‘apprenticeship’ en lugar de la universidad, dijo. El potencial de ingresos a largo plazo es generalmente mayor para las personas que tienen títulos universitarios y, por lo general, es un camino para aquellos que quieren trabajar para otra persona, en lugar de ser su propio jefe.
“Si quieres ser el que manda, quieres tener tu propio negocio”, dijo.
La libertad de trabajar al aire libre y la oportunidad de viajar por el sur de California eran cosas que Robert Collins apreciaba de su ‘apprenticeship’ como albañil hace 40 años. Ahora, el director de ‘apprenticeship’ en Brickmasons Apprenticeship Training Trust en La Verne, Collins dijo que está emocionado de ver más inversiones en ‘apprenticeships’.
“En un momento se trataba principalmente de oficios de construcción, ‘apprenticeships’, y ahora también se han expandido a otras industrias”, dijo Collins. “No es solo la construcción, ahora está por todas partes”.
El sitio web de la División de Estándares de ‘apprenticeship’ del Departamento de Relaciones Industriales ofrece una herramienta de búsqueda que enumera los ‘apprenticeships’ registrados en condados de todo el estado, junto con los requisitos y la información de contacto. Hay más de 90,000 aprendices registrados en California, según el departamento, un número que se espera aumente rápidamente en los próximos seis años. Como parte del presupuesto del año pasado, el estado destinó $231 millones para ‘apprenticeships’ en 2022, con $480 millones más para gastar en la expansión de oportunidades de ‘apprenticeship’ para 2029.

FDA CRACKS DOWN ON VAPE PRODUCTS; EXPERTS SAY MORE ACTION NEEDED
LA FDA TOMA MEDIDAS ENÉRGICAS CONTRA LOS PRODUCTOS DE VAPEO; LOS EXPERTOS DICEN QUE SE NECESITA MÁS ACCIÓN
Alex Gonzalez Public News Service
TheFood and Drug Administration recently announced several actions in an effort to crack down on illegal, flavored, disposable vape products which are popular among kids and teenagers.
In one example, research indicates 51% of Arizona high school students have tried electronic vaping products, and that teens who do vape are nearly four times more likely to start smoking cigarettes, according to the Arizona Department of Health Services.
Jim Carroll, former director of National Drug Control Policy under President Donald Trump, said he is glad the current administration is taking steps to ban what he calls "dangerous products."
"Specifically, what we are seeing is disposable vaping pens being shipped directly from China to the U.S., targeting our children," he expressed. "These vaping pens contain dangerous contaminants, but what is really scary is we are also seeing them contain lethal fentanyl."
Carroll said while the federal government banned flavored vaping products three years ago, a loophole in federal regulation has allowed millions of vaping pens to stay on shelves. He commended the FDA for having closed the loophole but is now calling on the administration to take what he calls "enforceable action."
Carroll added these products are cause for concern because they come from an area of China that he said is known to be associated with the fentanyl trade, and added the United States government issued the alert, but claimed the administration now needs to be "motivating, funding and supporting," law enforcement at the border to stop disposal vaping pens from entering the country. The marketing behind these products entice youth, he said.
"All sorts of crazy names and crazy graphics to really attract kids," he warned. "You know, calling something watermelon and cotton candy is really designed to attract our children, who don't understand the dangers."
Carroll added it is telling that China, the country manufacturing the disposable, flavored vapes, has prohibited the sale of these products to the general public and said "aggressive enforcement" is the answer to save lives in the U.S.

LaAdministración de Drogas y Alimentos anunció recientemente varias acciones en un esfuerzo por tomar medidas enérgicas contra los productos de vape desechables, con sabor y ilegales que son populares entre niños y adolescentes.
En un ejemplo, la investigación indica que el 51% de los estudiantes de secundaria de Arizona han probado productos electrónicos de vapeo, y que los adolescentes que lo hacen tienen casi cuatro veces más probabilidades de comenzar a fumar cigarrillos, según el Departamento de Servicios de Salud de Arizona.
Jim Carroll, exdirector de Política Nacional de Control de Drogas del presidente Donald Trump, dijo que está contento de que la administración actual esté tomando medidas para prohibir lo que él llama "productos peligrosos". “Específicamente, lo que estamos viendo son plumas de vapeo desechables que se envían directamente desde China a los EE. UU., dirigidas a nuestros niños”, expresó. "Estas plumas de vapeo contienen contaminantes peligrosos, pero lo que realmente da miedo es que también las estamos viendo que contienen fentanilo letal".
Carroll dijo que si bien el gobierno federal prohibió los productos de vapeo con sabor hace tres años, una laguna en la regulación federal ha permitido que millones de bolígrafos de vapeo permanezcan en los estantes. Elogió a la FDA por haber cerrado el vacío legal, pero ahora está pidiendo a la administración que tome lo que él llama "medidas coercitivas".
Carroll agregó que estos productos son motivo de preocupación porque provienen de un área de China que, según dijo, se sabe que está asociada con el comercio de fentanilo, y agregó que el gobierno de los Estados Unidos emitió la alerta, pero afirmó que la administración ahora debe ser "motivadora, financiación y apoyo", la aplicación de la ley en la frontera para evitar que los bolígrafos de vapeo de desecho ingresen al país. El marketing detrás de estos productos atrae a los jóvenes, dijo.
"Todo tipo de nombres locos y gráficos locos para realmente atraer a los niños", advirtió. "Sabes, llamar a algo sandía y algodón de azúcar está realmente diseñado para atraer a nuestros hijos, que no entienden los peligros".
Carroll agregó que es revelador que China, el país que fabrica los vaporizadores desechables con sabor, haya prohibido la venta de estos productos al público en general y dijo que la "aplicación agresiva" es la respuesta para salvar vidas en los EE. UU.
