Invest in your future . . .

On March 1, 2010 the California Community Colleges Board of Governors officially recognized Moreno Valley College as the 111th Community College in the state of California. Having received initial accreditation on January 29, 2010 from the Association for Community and Junior Colleges of the Western Association of Colleges, Moreno Valley College met the standards of an

independent two year college. Moreno Valley College is now part of a multi-college district of the Riverside Community College District alongside Riverside City College and Norco College.

Moreno Valley College is fast becoming the health education center of choice in the Inland Empire with strong programs in health sciences, human, and public services. The public safety education and training program, which is an educational partner with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department and Riverside County Fire Department, has received initial approval by the State to prepare for center status designation at the Ben Clark Public Safety Training Center, a Riverside County owned facility. Each semester more than 7,000 students pursue associates degrees, transfer to a four-year college or university, or a career certificate that qualifies them to enter their chosen field.

Responsive to the educational needs of its region, Moreno Valley College offers academic programs and student support services which include baccalaureate transfer, professional, pre-professional, and pre-collegiate curricula for all who can benefit from them. Lifelong learning opportunities are provided, especially in health and public service preparation.

. . . train for a career that changes lives.

How to use this book

The Career and Technical Education (CTE) Handbook is designed to provide information regarding CTE programs at Riverside Community College District’s three colleges: Moreno Valley College, Norco College, and Riverside City College. This handbook serves as a guide for prospective CTE students as well as current students.

Colleges

Certain programs are offered at specific colleges. The following symbols represent which college offers the CTE program:

M – Moreno Valley College N – Norco College R – Riverside City College

Industry Sectors

The state of California has identified 15 Industry Sectors. Each sector contains multiple career pathways. Riverside Community College District offers a variety of CTE programs in 12 of those industry sectors. This handbook is organized alphabetically by industry sector. In each industry sector section of the handbook, students will find a brief introduction to the sector, sample jobs and wages, an estimated educational preparation timeline (ranging from several months to six or more years), and links to websites where students may obtain additional information about occupations within these industry sectors. Students will also find a brief description of the programs offered at our three colleges, sample

skills or personal interests that may spark a student’s interest in the program, and the coursework required to obtain certain certificates and degrees (or program awards). Where available, the average cost of the program and student completion statistics are also disclosed.

Program Awards

Each of the programs highlighted in this handbook lead to some type of award/degree. There are three types of awards for CTE programs and they differ from program to program:

• Associate of Science Degree

• State Approved Certificate (Certificate of Achievement) • Locally-Approved Certificate (Certificate of Career

Preparation)

Students pursuing a degree in a CTE program should always see a counselor to develop an educational plan.

Special Program Admission

Some programs have special application processes, prerequisites, registration dates, program start dates, or other requirements. Students interested in seeking admission to one of these programs are encouraged to contact the program department for the most up-to-date information about special requirements, as dates listed in this handbook may change after the handbook is printed.

The Arts, Media, and Entertainment

industry

sector is big business in California.

This dynamic sector is relevant

statewide, with most of the major

employers concentrated in the

southern part of the state. It

offers jobs that require a vast

range of creative and technical

knowledge and skills. A June

2011 national study reports

that this industry is expected

to grow by 11% through 2018.

Flexibility and adaptability to a

rapidly changing professional landscape

are key elements to an individual’s ultimate

success in a career in arts, media, and entertainment.

Applied Digital Media

Artistic and computer savvy, you are already imagining ways you would lay out this page differently. Whether you were

putting your talents to use on the school yearbook or on your family’s annual holiday letter, you’ve always had an

“eye” for creating something that is visually appealing. Computer hardware and software will be important tools

in your work, as will teamwork and excellent communication skills. You’ll learn to use color, type, illustration,

photography, animation, and various print and layout techniques to effectively capture your viewers’

attention.

Commercial Music

Do you enjoy making music or the excitement of performing on stage? Do you find yourself

tapping your feet to the beat of whatever music you hear? If there isn’t a song playing on

your iPod, there’s always one playing in your head. You find music in everything, even

the sounds of nature or the rhythm of a jackhammer tearing up the street. Whether

you’re mixing it up on stage or recording and mixing it down in the studio, in front

of an audience or behind the scenes, the field of commercial music is highly

competitive and it requires talent, teamwork, and dedication to find success.

Film, Television and Video

Creative and expressive, a communicator with a vision – you’re full of ideas, love working with a

team and using the latest technology as your tool. Television production has always been an exciting

and fast-paced field for the creative and energetic, but innovations in computer and broadband

technologies have produced an explosion of opportunity in this dynamic field.

Photography

You never go anywhere without your camera. Everything you see is a photo waiting to be captured.

Images are everywhere; major events and sunny days are not the only times to use one’s photographic

skills. Photographers produce and preserve images by painting a picture, telling a story, or recording an event.

Photography requires both technical skill and expertise combined with artistic creativity.

Simulation and Gaming

You were playing computer games before you could ride a bike. Simulation and video game development is about creating

characters and developing the problems they face in an artistic story format. You will develop characters and establish how

they will react in various situations and special environments, including components driving the characters through the story.

You will use artistry in a range of techniques from hand-drawn figures to 3D animated models.

Building, Trades & Construction

Go Green! Fueled by concerns about energy, greenhouse

gas emissions and indoor air quality, an explosion

of interest in green building is creating new job

opportunities in the construction industry. A 2008

report from McGraw Hill Construction, “The Green

Outlook: Trends Driving Change,” notes that the

size of the national green building market has

expanded five-fold over the last three years, and is

projected to triple again in the next five years, reaching

$96-$140 billion. As the first state to enact a Green

Building Code, and the home of numerous local governments

that have mandated green standards for new construction, California is

poised to set the standard for greening of residential and commercial

structures. Training in green building and construction jobs is crucial

if the state is to make the most of the current potential for economic

growth and increased sustainability. Men and women from all sectors of

California’s diverse student and working populations can gain access to

a range of high-paying jobs that also offer the reward of tangible and

immediate impact on environmental quality.

Air Conditioning

You love taking things apart and putting them back together. Knowing

how machines operate and solving puzzles is important to you. Air

conditioning, refrigeration, plumbing, and electrical professions are

about improving our lives. Our world could not function without the

talents and skills of the technicians who install and service equipment

making our daily life more comfortable. Homes, office buildings, malls,

supermarkets, and facilities all rely on air conditioning, refrigeration, and

electrical and plumbing systems to create and maintain a safe, healthy,

and comfortable environment.

Construction

To you, details make a difference. Perhaps you are concerned with

how things are made and how to improve the energy efficiency in

homes and buildings. The Construction Technology program prepares

individuals with the technical knowledge and skills in the area of building

construction. This includes instruction on blueprint reading, materials,

International Building Codes and Ordinances, plumbing, electrical and

mechanical codes, and energy conservation.

fastest-growing industry sectors in the nation. It is projected to

increase by nearly 40 percent by 2016,

and a large number of employees in

this sector will be retiring. According

to the U.S. Department of Labor,

three of the 10 fastest-growing

segments of this industry sector

are child care services; individual,

family, community, and vocational

rehabilitation services; and community

and residential elder care services.

completion of at least 60 units of

credit, which normally takes four

semesters or more. State approved

certificate (certificate of achievement)

programs require a minimum of

18 units, but vary in number of units

required. Certificates of achievement

may lead to employment competence

and an associate degree and many

can be completed in one year. Locally

approved certificates (certificate of

career preparation) are less than 18

units and may lead to employment

competence but do not necessarily

lead to an associate degree.

Certificate and Degree Course

Engineering & Design

Architecture, Drafting and Engineering

Solving 3-D puzzles is a piece of cake for you. You can draw the layout of any space your mind

imagines. Your imagination and ability to visualize spatial orientation can take you to the next level in

drafting technology, engineering technology, and architecture. You’ll use computer-aided drafting

and design (CAD), in careers that are in demand to prepare detailed drawings of a variety

of structures from houses and buildings to highways and bridges, all according to detailed

specifications.

Electronics

You like gadgets and electronic devices. You enjoy working out practical problems and solutions.

You have a great deal of patience. You pay attention to the small details. Electronics technology is

essential to the development, manufacture, modification, and maintenance of a wide range

of products and equipment. It requires layout, building, testing, troubleshooting, repairing,

and modifying the development and production of electronic components, parts,

equipment, and systems. You can find electronic engineering technicians working on

anything from computer equipment, to missile control systems, to test equipment,

even machine numerical controls.
