Which program provides education, training, and support services for students receiving public assistance?

• A. CalWORKS
• B. CARE (Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education)
• C. California College Corps
• D. Counseling / Advisement

Answer: (A)

CalWORKs is California’s welfare-to-work program that provides education, training, and supportive services to students receiving public assistance. It goes beyond just financial aid by connecting recipients with on-campus academic advising, tutoring, child care support, transportation assistance, and help with books and supplies. All of this is designed to help students pursue credentials or certificates and move toward self-sufficiency, aligning with TANF requirements. CARE is a related but separate support program for CalWORKs students, while California College Corps is a service-learning initiative, and Counseling/Advisement is general student guidance not specifically tied to public assistance.
