THE AMADOR CENTERS FOR HIGHER LEARNING PROVIDE
•
Space for more classes. The Amador County Unified School District currently provides space for night classes each semester in a local high school and provides the instruction These classes have filled to capacity. The only limitation to offering more classes is classroom space and technology.
•
The opportunity to gain and maintain higher levels of education and vocational training locally. This community portal to education and knowledge precludes commuting to college classes outside the county, which is costly and often prevents county residents from enrolling in and attending college classes.
•
A sustainable employment base of knowledgeable workers that will boost Amador County economic development. The current outward migration of students to colleges and workers to jobs outside the county economically drains resources in and shifts tax-based income away from Amador County.
•
A stable and consistent community college presence will meet the demands of Amador County's growing population and will boost local efforts to recreate viable economic development and keep our workforce in the County. A community's economic development often depends on the presence of an established college in that community.
