STUDENT EMPLOYMENT SERVICES/
JOB PLACEMENT CENTER
The mission of the Student Employment Services is to
provide ongoing, comprehensive assistance to all Glen-
dale College students in obtaining on- and off-campus
employment.

niques and resume writing. In addition to providing part
and full-time job listings, the center sponsors on-campus
recruiting by interested businesses who wish to hire

The staff assists students in finding off-campus positions
related to their disciplines. Off-campus jobs can be accessed
through a variety of resources including local posting and
online job search sites.
On-campus positions are also available for currently
enrolled students. Glendale College participates in

SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTION
(SI)/ COLLABORATIVE LEARNING
Another innovative program that the college offers its
students is the Collaborative Learning (SI) workshops that
are available each semester with selected courses. These
workshops provide students with an enjoyable, structured
way to study and/or solve problems collaboratively under
the supervision of an instructor or specially trained student
understanding of course content and tend to pass at a much
higher rate and with better grades than non-participants. A
list of workshop offerings is available in the current class
schedule or through counseling services. The program
coordinator is happy to answer questions about this free
service at (818) 240-1000, ext. 5357.
TRANSFER CENTER
The Transfer Center is designed to assist students with
the process of transferring to four-year colleges and
universities. We provide counseling, transfer workshops,
college tours, host university representatives who advise
students, a transfer information website, and maintain
a library of college admissions materials. The Transfer
Center is especially committed to the goal of increasing
the transfer rate of under-represented students to institu-
tions of higher learning. We are located on the third floor
of the Sierra Vista Building and can be reached by phone
at (818) 240-1000, ext. 5442. For more information, visit

educational benefits at GCC, as well as a great opportunity
to meet with other Veterans and talk about their goals.
