Across California, the demand for skilled, career-ready professionals continues to grow — and Delta is helping to meet that need.
Through Career & Technical Education (CTE) and Workforce Development, we’re building pathways that connect students, educators, and employers. Together, we’re preparing the region’s workforce for jobs that are in demand, high-paying, and future-focused — often achievable in a year or less of college training.
Explore how Delta’s Career Education programs create opportunities for everyone.

Fueling California's Skilled Workforce
California will need more than 1 million skilled workers in the coming years.
That means opportunity — jobs that pay well and can start with as little as one year of college.
With dozens of hands-on programs leading directly to in-demand careers, Delta College is helping close the gap.
Survey Says
A recent survey of graduates from Delta’s CTE programs shows:
- 88 percent were satisfied or very satisfied with their education and training.
- 75 percent were working in jobs closely related to their program of study.
- 90 percent had a job in 6 months or less.
- On average, graduates earned twice as much after attending Delta as they did before.
