The Tehama Campus focuses on providing pathways for completion and transfer. Some of the major industries in the district are health care, hospitality, retail, and natural resources (Educational Master Plan, p. 53; see also section 1.1F). Health care has the highest wage and growth potential for the area. (Educational Master Plan, p. 55). The Tehama Campus, through careful consideration of student requests, offers all prerequisite courses for health care programs. Early Childhood Education is an example of a certificate program designed with Redding faculty to address the local need for certified early childhood education workers. Truck driving courses (CONS 149) are offered to address the local need for trained operators. Emergency Medical Technician courses are offered to provide required training for local EMTs, firefighters, and other EMS personnel. English as a Second Language courses are offered to address the local needs of community members and migrant workers. GED courses were requested and are offered to provide secondary school graduation opportunities in the service area. The 21 certificates, 27 local degrees, and 35 transfer degrees have all been chosen to provide as many educational opportunities as possible, while also addressing community needs as outlined in section 1.1 of this study.

Programs and instructional modalities are routinely evaluated for addressing the local needs of the community. An example of responding to community preferences was the full redesign of Extended Education’s two-year course offering schedule to an annual schedule in 2015. This change provided more options for students and increased entry points. The video conferencing modality was reviewed in 2019 and a transition plan was established to move towards synchronous Zoom-based courses in place of the existing system, which provided greater access to more courses. The 2019 plan was accelerated by the 2020 global pandemic. Previous reviews have resulted in more online technical support for students, expanded online services available, high-speed internet installations at all sites to enhance online learning capabilities, and online tutoring services. The Program Review Committee regularly reviews academic programs for effectiveness and meeting community needs.
