Fast Track: Family Development
(Certificate of Training offered by Family and Consumer Sciences)
Family Development prepares students for working with
families to empower them to attain a healthy self-reliance and
interdependence with their communities. Public, private and
non-profit service systems employ front-line workers such as home visitors,
case managers, family resource center workers, community health workers and
teacher aides. The courses are designed to be taken in sequence and
will result in a nationally recognized credential upon successful completion
of the portfolio and credential exam. The exam has a fee attached and
is not part of the college curriculum. Successful completion of the
certificate of training partially fulfills requirements for the Human
Services certificate and degree program at MPC.

program, Family Development students will be able to:
- Use a strength-based and self reliance approach in
