About Us – Mid-Alameda County Consortium

The MACC is one of 71 consortia of adult education providers across the state. Recent legislation (AB86 and AB104 – the California Adult Education Program) calls for adult education agencies to provide seamless and efficient integration of services through leveraging resources.

The mission of the MACC is to collaboratively and collectively increase regional effectiveness in providing education, training and support services for adult learners, thereby strengthening our communities.

The MACC is led by an Official Representatives team which sets goals and objectives per state policies and guidelines. To create and implement plans to achieve the goals, the MACC relies on four faculty and staff Work Teams: Career Education, Seamless Transitions, English as a Second Language, and Adult Basic Education/Adult Secondary Education. At each MACC school, Transition Specialists work with students to help them set their personal goals and to create a plan to reach those goals, including referring students to local supportive service agencies for personal assistance that will make it possible for students to attend and complete their educational plans.

The MACC works closely with partner agencies such as the Alameda County Workforce Development Board, the Eden Area and Tri-Valley One Stop Career Centers, the Pleasanton and Alameda County Libraries, and many others, in order to provide comprehensive services to students.

The MACC offers opportunities for adults to train for employment, to earn a high school diploma or certification, and to learn English. MACC schools help students plan for success. We connect students to the right classes, programs and services to help them meet their goals.
