Palomar College submitted the appropriate LMI from the COE. The COE recommends proceeding with developing a program and supports a program modification because 1) a supply gap exists for these occupations; 2) their entry-level and median earnings are above the living wage; and 3) a high number of annual openings exist. The region should note that employers typically require a bachelor’s degree as the minimum requirement for working with special needs children.
