“Our central focus is student success—from access and equity to completion, transfer, and workforce readiness,” says Dr. Julianna M. Asperin Barnes, chancellor of SOCCCD. “Through Saddleback College and Irvine Valley College, we offer high-quality academic pathways, career education, lifelong learning, and comprehensive student support services designed to help students achieve their goals.”

The ATEP expansion plan involves ongoing investment in modernized facilities and emerging technologies, reflecting SOCCCD’s commitment to expanding workforce opportunities that meet students’ needs today while preparing them for tomorrow’s careers. This strategy demonstrates a balance of innovation and responsibility. Strong industry partnerships ensure programs remain relevant and aligned with real-world job opportunities, while data-driven decision-making keeps the focus on student outcomes and community impact.

“Strong governance is at the heart of SOCCCD’s success. We work closely with the chancellor and college leadership to ensure accountability, fiscal stewardship, and policies that keep students at the center of every decision we make,” states the Board of Trustees, which includes Board President Carolyn Inmon, Vice-President Ryan Dack, and members Marcia Milchiker, T.J. Prendergast, Lisa Bartlett, Tim Jemal, Terri Rydell, and Student Trustee Blake Leonard.

The District emphasizes clear and well-supported pathways for students, whether they plan to transfer, earn credentials, or develop job-ready skills. Student voices are actively included in conversations and decisions, which strengthens trust and improves the student experience through workforce development initiatives like ATEP.
