Career Transitions

One of the many ways Chaffey College helps high school students use education to get a job is through its career transitions program. Whether you are a Regional Occupational Program student or a high school student who simply has an interest in exploring options that will lead you from college to career, Chaffey can help. Career transitions gives students:

• Hands-on learning experience through its Career Technical Education courses
• Skills to be competitive in the job market
• Preparation to enter directly into the workforce
• Access to associate's and bachelor's degrees, and beyond
• Opportunity to earn free college credit in high school Career Technical Education Courses through what are called "articulation agreements" between Chaffey and your high school.

Student Enrollment Instructions

To receive college credit for your high school career transitions course, you'll need to go through the steps outlined in our career transition enrollment guide. Need help? Your high school counselor, career technician or teacher can assist you with this process. Chaffey College career transitions staff can also help.

NOTE: Under the supplemental questions category in the application, be sure to answer "yes"
to the question titled, "Career Transitions" because this will designate you as a career transition student. If you do not answer yes, you will be considered a regular Chaffey College student.

You will receive an email with your application confirmation number when you finish applying. You will receive a Chaffey College identification number within three days. You will need your ID to proceed to the next step.

Finally, create a Career And Technology Education Management Application (CATEMA) account. Check out our CATEMA set up guide for more assistance.

Career And Technology Education Management Application (CATEMA®) is a web application for instructors, students and staff to establish and maintain accounts to enter, update, display and report course articulation outcomes. For more information on CATEMA web page.

Information for Instructors

Are you a high school or Regional Occupational Program teacher who would like to establish a career transitions articulation (partnership) with Chaffey College? Here's how the process works:

• When you submit a request to our articulation office, we'll review the information and make recommendations. You can receive a hard copy of this form by emailing us at act.staff@chaffey.edu.
• We'll set meetings to discuss and develop the agreement with you collaboratively. Call us if you have questions or need clarification at (909) 652-6831
• Then our office will record, activate and announce the agreement.
• Students need to enroll at Chaffey College and obtain a Chaffey student identification number. They need to use an actively checked email address, state that they are a current higgh school student and include their expected graduation date. They must answer "yes" on the last question before submitting.
• Students and teachers should create Career and Technology Education Management Application (CATEMA) accounts. Teachers need to create classes and students should add them. We've provided this instructor CATEMA guide for you.
• At this point, students may enroll in the course. They'll be entered into the Chaffey College database and will be issued a college identification number.
• Instructors facilitate course assessment by referring to the articulation agreement and contacting career transitions in advance to ensure compliance.
• Once the student has completed the course, the instructor updates CATEMA with information about whether the student met all conditions of the articulation agreement and, if needed, assessment components.
• If career transitions confirms the student met all conditions, the information will be forwarded to admissions so the student can receive credit.
• Students will be notified via email of receiving credit.
• The agreement needs to be renewed biannually and a notice will be sent to Chaffey and high school instructors for review
• The college and instructors make revisions at collaborative meetings, draft updates and validate the agreements.
• The revised agreements are then activated and distributed.
• For a more detailed guide, refer to our instructor packet.
