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.

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.

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,

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
Each of the programs highlighted in this handbook lead to some

Arts, Media & Entertainment
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.

on a new career!
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.

Early Childhood Education
You’re a take-charge kind of person. You like to learn and share this
knowledge with others. You are organized and dependable. You like
to be around children and are concerned about future generations.
Early childhood educators do the important work of nurturing and
educating children during their most formative years. They work
to stimulate children’s curiosity and imagination by providing them
opportunities to learn through play experiences and to question,
observe, investigate, and experiment. They consult with parents,
administrators, and child development specialists.
CARES Plus
CARES Plus is a program of professional support that provides
incentive stipends to eligible early childhood caregivers.
www.extension.ucr.edu/cares
All participants must:
* Provide child care in Riverside County for at least 15 hours
per week to children birth through five years of age, and be
working for 9 consecutive months.
* Work as an Early Child Care and Education Professional in

Child Development Grant Program
The Child Development Grant Program is administered by the
California Student Aid Commission. The program is designed
for students who are attending a California community college
or four-year institution and pursuing a Child Development
Permit to teach or supervise in licensed children’s centers.
Selected recipients attending a California community college
are eligible to receive up to $1,000 each academic year.
Once selected, students must maintain half-time enrollment,
satisfactory academic progress, financial need, and intend to
pursue an approved course of study leading to a permit. Prior
to receiving an award payment, students must sign a Service
Commitment Agreement to provide one full year of service in a
licensed children’s center for every year they receive a grant.

are being developed. For further information contact the
RCC Department Chair at [email protected].
Career and Technical Education
Program Awards
Riverside Community College District
offers associate in science degrees and
certificate programs with career and
technical education emphasis. Both
provide instruction in the skills and
knowledge needed to enter a skilled
or professional occupation. Associate
in science degree programs require
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
Requirements
Students should see a counselor
to develop an educational plan
to complete a specific certificate
or degree pattern and then enroll
in the appropriate courses. Fifty
percent of the coursework required
for any certificate or degree pattern
must be completed at Riverside
Community College District.
Applying for Certificate or
Degree
Students may submit an application
to receive their CTE certificate
or associate degree through
their Academic ProfileDegree/
Certificate Application on RCCD’s
student enrollment system, called
WebAdvisor. Students receiving an
associate in science degree or a certificate of
more than 18 units are eligible to participate in the
commencement/graduation ceremony. The deadline to apply
and participate in commencement is April 1st. Students applying
for a locally approved certificate only (a certificate which is less than
18 units) are not eligible to participate in commencement. In addition, many
locally approved certificates do not appear on a student’s transcript.
How to get further information
The colleges’ websites are a great source of information. Telephone numbers and websites for
the colleges’ CTE programs and various student services can be found on pages 2 through 8. Additional
information can often be obtained from high school counseling offices or prospective students may e-mail or

Secondary Credit
By Articulation?
What is secondary articulation?
Articulation is a specific class(es) taken by a student
in a high school or ROP program in which the student
receives credit for the class(es) at RCCD.
How can articulated credit help students?
• Students get a jump start by earning college
credit while still in a high school or ROP
program.
• Students do not repeat coursework.
• Students will obtain basic skills and knowledge
making them “career and college ready.”
• Students save money on the cost of college
tuition and textbooks.
What courses are articulated?
Not all courses are articulated. Students can find the
most up-to-date listing of articulated courses at RCCD’s
Tech Prep website, www.rcc.edu/techprep. Find the
listing for the school district attended to verify the
student is receiving credit for all applicable classes.
How can students apply for articulated credit?
Go to www.rcc.edu/techprep to find out how to apply for
articulated credit.
Articulation credit will not appear on the RCCD transcript
until both the Application for Credit by Articulation and
the RCCD college application are completed in full.
Note: An Application for Credit by Articulation must be
filled out online for each articulated course completed.
The total number of credits a student may earn for
articulated courses may not exceed 16 units. Students
have up to four years to request Credit by Articulation
after completing the secondary articulated class.

summarizing numerical and financial data to compile
and keep financial records using journals, ledgers and
computers.
Insurance
You like to look at facts and consider possible solutions. You
are interested in finance. You have the desire to help others
by working with them to plan for their future. Insurance is

You appreciate other cultures and customs. You like
to meet people from far away places. You may have
purchased something in pounds or pesos. Business is a
legal organization designed to sell goods and/or services
to consumers or other businesses in an effort to generate
profits. International business is one with interests in other
countries. These businesses are often called multinational
corporations. This career includes working with cultural
considerations, such as law and the legal system,
economics, political policy, marketing, language, living
standards, cultural traditions, etc.
Business Management
Logistics Management
Banking and Finance
You are reliable and responsible. You are a self-motivated
person. Business managers plan, direct, and coordinate
the operations of public and private organizations. Business
management involves everything from how technology
can improve efficiency to the best way of using a team.
For example, business managers formulate policies,
manage daily operations, and plan material
usage and human resources.
Human Resources
You have a desire to implement
changes to make the
world a better place. You
have a natural ability to
cooperatively work with
and teach others. One
function of human
resources is to implement
programs dealing with
productivity improvement
and total quality

and their goal is to foster
positive relationships to
increase job satisfaction while
meeting customer and client
needs.
You are the leader of the pack. You enjoy challenges.
You have a natural ability to analyze a situation and make
executive decisions. You are dependable and organized.
Logistics is the art of managing and controlling the flow
of goods, information, and other resources, like energy,
between a producer and consumer. It involves
combining information, transportation,
inventory, warehousing, material
handling, and packaging.
Logisticians are responsible
for the entire lifecycle of a
product, including acquisition,
distribution, internal
allocation, delivery,
and, finally, disposal of
resources.

Computer Applications and OfFIce Technology
You are organized and efficient. There is no computer application that you are not able to master. As reliance on technology
continues to expand in offices, the role of the office professional has greatly evolved. Office automation and organizational
reform led office professionals to assume tasks once reserved for managerial and professional staff.
Computer Information Systems
You like to analyze information and use logic to address issues. You are persistent and ready to face any obstacle coming your
way. You are detail oriented and complete all assigned tasks. The explosive impact of computers and information technology
on our every day lives has generated a need to design and develop new computer systems and incorporate technologies
into a rapidly growing range of applications. Computer application engineers apply the principles and techniques of computer
science, engineering, and mathematical analysis to design, develop, test, and evaluate software and systems.

Welding Technology (R)
Manufacturing
You have always wondered how things are made. The
process of creation intrigues you. As a child, even before
you could walk, you were taking apart your toys and
rebuilding them. A career in manufacturing will allow
you to work with integrated motion control systems and
computer aided design (CAD) software!
Welding
You are a creative and artistic person. You enjoy challenges
and you like to solve problems. Ultimately you like to
admire your hard work in a finished product. Welding
is the most common way of permanently joining metal
components. In this process, heat is applied to metal
pieces, melting and fusing them to form a permanent
bond. Because of its strength, welding is used in many
different fields from artistic metal sculpture to aerospace
applications.

Marketing, the transfer of goods and services among businesses and
consumers, affects the economy at every level. According to California
occupational employment projections, retail trade will be the fastestgrowing industry in the state. As businesses in America evolve to compete
successfully in the global marketplace, a growing need exists for
employees with business expertise and the ability to analyze and
respond to emerging trends. This sector is designed to prepare learners
for careers in planning, managing, and performing marketing activities.
Included are four career pathways:
E-commerce, which provides instruction in
using electronic tools to market products
and services; Entrepreneurship, which
develops skills and abilities to begin
and operate a business independently
or with other individuals; International
Trade, which focuses on understanding
the global business environment; and
Professional Sales and Marketing, which
builds knowledge of the sales process, sales
management, and marketing information
management.
Marketing
You could sell ice to penguins. You are good at creating new ideas and expressing them to your friends. You recognize
problems and create plans of action to avoid trouble. The objective of any firm is to market and sell its products or services
profitably. In small firms, the owner or chief executive officer might assume all advertising, promotions, marketing, sales,
and public relations responsibilities. Large firms may offer numerous products and services nationally or even worldwide.
Advertising, marketing, promotions, public relations, and sales managers coordinate market research, marketing strategy,
sales, advertising, promotion, pricing, product development, and public relations activities.
Real Estate
You like having rules, but you also like being able to take risks. You enjoy working with people and helping them make decisions
to better their lives. Oftentimes one of the most complex and significant financial events in people’s lives is the purchase and/
or sale of a home or an investment property. Due to the intricacy and importance of buying and/or selling real estate, people
typically seek the help of real estate brokers and sales agents.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects increases in employment
nationwide through 2014 for career pathways in the Public Services
industry sector. Job openings in community and social services are
expected to increase by approximately 21 percent; in legal services,
by 16 percent, in protective services, by 14 percent; and in state and
local government services, by 11 percent. In California,
occupational employment projections also foresee
growth in all of this sector’s pathways through
2014. Job openings in state and local government
services are expected to increase by 17 percent; in
community and social services, by 22 percent; in
legal services, by 16 percent; and in protective
services, by 18 percent. This growth will result
from heightened interest in homeland and border
security as well as the retirement of workers
from the baby-boom generation. The Public
Services industry sector provides a foundation for
students in government, public administration,
public safety, legal services, and human services.

help others is something that comes naturally. If you
envision a future where you can grow and develop
professionally in a field that lets you play an instrumental
role in the community, then a career in Human Services
provides the perfect setting where your energy and
passion for helping will be valued.
Paralegal Studies
Many programs in Public Safety have
prerequisites, special registration, and other
special requirements. Please contact the
department for more information.
Administration of Justice
You have a lofty sense of justice, honesty, and ethics, but
you also have the ability to adapt to various situations. You
are a tolerant person who genuinely cares for others. Law
enforcement officers provide public safety by maintaining
order, responding to emergencies, protecting people and
property, and promoting good community relations.
Community Interpretation
You speak English and Spanish fluently. Disciplined and
quick thinking, you believe you can bridge the gap between
English and Spanish speakers. Interpreters are the keys
that unlock the door to understanding between people in a
variety of settings, situations, and circumstances.
Fire Technology
You work well under stress. You are an effective
communicator who has a desire to work with the public.
Firefighters work to protect the community against injury,
loss of life, and destruction of property from fire. They help
protect the public against dangers by rapidly responding to a
variety of emergencies.
A career
Serving
people
serves
a great purpose
You are a logical thinker who likes to do research
and investigate facts. As a courteous, honest and
ethical person, you like working with the public. As a
paralegal, you will find yourself performing duties such
as preparing closings, hearings, trials, and corporate
meetings.
Sign Language Interpreting
You are an expressive person. You enjoy communicating
with others. You enjoy learning other languages and
enjoy exploring different cultures. Interpreters enable
the cross-cultural communication necessary in today’s
society by converting a spoken language into sign
language. These language specialists do more than
translate words. They relay concepts and ideas between
modes of communication.

super-capacity jet airplanes, hybrid and hydrogen fuelcell technology affecting automobiles, and diesel trucks
that run on bio-diesel or other alternative fuels.
