College & Career Center
Online and in-person workshops with one-on-one meetings for success
OPEN TO ALL LQ ADULT STUDENTS and HSE ALUMNI
Transition Specialists in the College and Career Center help current adult students and HSE graduates fulfill their college and career goals. Upon enrollment, HSE students meet with a Transition Specialist to decide on their post-graduation path. Together, they plan milestone goals to reach while they're attending class so they can build the skills needed for college and/or career. Working together from the beginning ensures student success. Success for the student means success for the family they support.
Below are the workshops and one-on-one guidance sessions provided in the College & Career Center.

Success After Graduation
Michael Enriquez
Michael Enriquez graduated from Learning Quest Stanislaus Literacy Centers in 2012. Since graduating, Michael has worked in the construction field and is currently employed with California Drywall doing metal stud framing and sheetrock. He attended classes with the goal of receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree in Construction Management.
He is so thankful for the staff and volunteer tutors for being so helpful. When asked what advice would he give to a current student, Michael stated,
“Stick it out when you feel like giving up; it is well worth it. If I had given up, I would not have been able to land a very well-paying and rewarding career. That piece of paper is the start to a bright future.”
Michael appreciates quality time with his family which includes his fiance and four children. In his spare time, he likes visiting San Francisco, hiking, and fishing. Great job Michael, we are so happy for your success!
