When you transfer, be sure to let your school know you have a reserve grant. ... [Read More]
Job Outlook for California Community College Occupational Education Programs
These Community College Program Projections were developed by the Employment Development Department (EDD)in cooperation with the Chancellor's Office of the California Community Colleges (COCCC) . The statewide and local area occupational projections provide the Chancellor's Office with the basis for documenting the job outlook for enrollees in community college occupational education programs. ... The Chancellor's Office uses the Taxonomy of Programs (TOP) system to classify instructional programs. The system is hierarchical, consisting of approximately 200 programs; community colleges may use a 4- or 5-digit code to classify a program, 5 being the more specific code. The EDD staff convert the OES occupational projections to the community college TOP instructional program categories, and provide a crosswalk between the two coding systems in each local area file. Only vocational and occupational TOP codes are matched to OES occupations. More information regarding the Taxonomy of Programs (TOP) is available on-line. ... [Read More]

California Secretary of State - Elections & Voter Information - Electoral College
How exactly does this work? Under the "Electoral College" system, each state is assigned a certain number of "votes". There are a total of 540 electoral votes, and the number of votes each state receives is proportional to its size --- the bigger the state's population the more "votes" it gets. The formula for determining the number of votes for each state is simple: each state gets two votes for its two US Senators, and then one more additional vote for each member it has in the House of Representatives. For California, this means we get 55 votes (2 senators and 53 members of the House of Representatives) --- the most of any state. ... [Read More]
