Career Hub

The CAT Hub (Career and Transfer Hub) is a centrally coordinated system for connecting students with work-based learning, paid internships, and quality job opportunities.

We are here to provide guidance and support that will help students to explore, know, and understand themselves and the world of work. Our services help students explore how their personal interests, values, abilities, personality, background, and circumstances help lead to a career.

Our office also houses Cooperative Work Experience Education Program. Cooperative work experience provides a bridge between the classroom and on-the-job training involving the student, faculty, college, and an employer. Students work in a job related to their career interest on a part-time basis while attending classes at Hartnell College. The program provides a gradual transition from formal instruction to career, allows students to apply knowledge gained in the classroom to the practical world of work, and permits students the opportunity to test their interest in and suitability for the field of interest endeavor.
