California's Los Angeles Mission College received a grant to conduct activities to develop sites for home economics and lifespan/life management education. The activities focused on curriculum development and professional development workshops to prepare staff for the changing roles of educators, while emphasis was placed on activities that helped integrate vocational, academic, and Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) competencies. A statewide advisory committee was formed to discuss development strategies and high school, and university representatives were invited to staff development activities to help develop a seamless curriculum. Efforts have also been undertaken to promote gender equity in the caregiving field, utilize computer technologies to increase access, and publicize available scholarships for students. As a result of grant activities, recommendations were made to update the California Community College Home Economics Program Plan of 1992. In addition, the college's Lifespan/Life Management Intergenerational Care Provider curriculum has been recognized by the National Institute on Human Resources and Aging and has become a model for the state and the nation. Los Angeles Mission College is in the final approval process to be designated as a One-Step Training Center site, focusing on care providing as a training component for the unemployed. (KP)
