The Pierce College Gain/CalWORKs
Office helps students
acquire workplace skills and provides academic planning
and counseling, books and supplies, child care, transportation
and referrals to on-campus and community-based resources
for legal, medical and counseling services.
Whether
a GAIN worker refers a student, or the student
initiates his or her own college studies, we hope this
is the beginning of training fro employment opportunities
coupled with a lifetime of learning and personal growth.
