“The second program is the ADELANTE Program which is a success-oriented program focusing on academic achievement, transfer, cultural awareness, and personal growth. Adelante classes emphasize verbal, written, and critical thinking skills essential to college success. Classes accentuate the Latino experience within the context of the course subject, and most classes offer credits that are transferable to the UC and CSU systems. “

One of the highlights of the morning sessions was Dakar’s participation in the speaker series. Dakar brought our team of mentors, trainers, and current student interns from SMC to showcase our willingness to share our past, present and future programs that have resulted in a few students in the day long event to express in participating in our upcoming Digital Skills Bootcamp.
