The Daraja Project is a set of steps, stepping stones or a stairway to success in college. It is designed for students who plan to transfer to 4-year college or university after at least one year at Chabot. The program is open to all students who meet the qualifications for enrollment. An English instructor and a counselor work together as a team with students for two consecutive semesters. The mentors serve as occupational resources and role models, sharing their experience and knowledge.
Students build a network of contacts, both on campus and in the professional community.
Graduates have transferred to numerous colleges and universities, both in and out of state. The Chabot College Early Decision Program is designed to facilitate the transition from high school to college for the students in our immediate area. Chabot College counselors conduct activities at the high schools which are designed to prepare students to select appropriate classes that will lead to the achievement of their individual career and personal goals. An added benefit is early priority registration for both summer and fall semesters for seniors who complete all components of the program. The Puente Project is a year-long writing, counseling, and mentoring program that prepares students to compete academically in a university environment.
