Include any other information you would like to share.
The LMI requested several weeks ago has not been received by submission deadline. Once received, it will replace the Advisory board minutes attached in its place. We don't have an old LMI.
Please list similar programs at other colleges in the service area which may be impacted, including the name of the college, the name of the program that may be impacted, the name of the person you contacted and the outcome of that contact.
This certificate uses existing program courses, it is merely a repackaging of curriculum, creating some small specialty certificates. I spoke with Gerlinde Brady, CTE Dean at Cabrillo College. No impact to Cabrillo Colleges Horticulture program is anticipated.
