Butte College is partnering with Butte and Glenn High School Districts and County Offices of Education to provide equitable access to college coursework and seamless career technical education and transfer pathways within a supportive environment. Introducing high school students to a variety of college course offerings can help students achieve college and career readiness and empower students to successfully transition to post-secondary institutions and/or the workforce.
