Surf for Salaries!


You can now view aggregated median earnings of those who complete a certificate or degree in a specific community college discipline and then enter the workforce.

Salary Surfer, which can be viewed at salarysurfer.cccco.edu, displays median annual incomes for those who complete 179 of the most widely enrolled program areas and do not transfer to a four-year institution. The data show the median earnings for community college graduates two years prior to earning the award, then two years and five years after earning either a certificate or degree.

An analysis of the data contained on Salary Surfer shows that students who complete an associate degree more than double their annual pre-degree earnings after two years in the workforce and nearly triple their pre-degree earnings after five years in the workforce.

Free Windows 8 Training and Hackathons


This is a fun training and auditions where you will learn what you need to know to make your own Windows 8 app. Form a team where you can use your skills and compete to win. We'll cover what you need to know from idea to store submission.  Well show you how to either create an application from scratch or use a beautiful sample to get started. Once you discover your app potential, your team can hack for two weeks building the app of your dreams.  You can even get free consulting from the local evangelist team (in person or online).
