LCC has been working hard with local K-12 partners to ensure that all graduates have choices beyond high school that make sense. LCC’s new Multicraft Trades Certificate provides a versatile “13th Year” option for students not looking for a traditional four-year degree. Students who earn the Multicraft Trades Certificate have three career paths available to them. They can enter the workforce at entry-level in the skilled trades, they can pursue an apprenticeship pathway, or they can continue on to one of four associate degree options at LCC, including Diesel & Heavy Equipment Technology, Welding, Machine Trades, or Manufacturing. The benefits of just one additional year of training beyond high school are substantial. Research suggests that a one-year college credential is the “tipping point” between a lifetime of financial hardship and earning a sustainable wage.

2018 Annual Report 9 Gordon Bolar Receives 2019 Transforming Lives Award

Gordon Bolar lost his father to alcoholism at an early age, which triggered a series of bad choices that persisted into adulthood. Along the way, Gordon held a series of different jobs and suffered a traumatic brain injury. He fathered two little girls with a woman who disappeared shortly after their second child was born. For nearly a year, he cared for his infants alone while trying to scrape a living together. Things came to a traumatic end when Gordon was arrested for possession of drugs and stolen property. While incarcerated, Gordon was given the option to participate in drug court and live in transitional housing. His program included parenting classes, anger management, and both mental health and addiction treatment. He decided to go back to school. His inspiration was his mother, Donna Bell, a graduate of LCC’s nursing program. Like his mom, Gordon came to LCC ready to change his life. In spite of juggling parenting, homework, treatment, counseling, childcare, appointments, and NA meetings, he managed to excel in his studies. He chose the Diesel and Heavy Equipment Technology program, in hopes of becoming a diesel mechanic. He impressed his instructors, who were able to offer him a work-study position in the department. The wages Gordon earned from his work-study position allowed him to move out of transitional housing and provide a stable home for his children. Gordon finished the Diesel Tech program in 2015 and decided to get his welding certificate as well. By 2017, Gordon had two college degrees. When his instructor Jim Dillinger got a call from CDID (Consolidated Diking and Improvement District) asking for help finding summer workers, Jim suggested Gordon. After some initial hesitation due to Gordon’s past, CDID decided to give him a chance. Gordon received a $500 gift from the Lower Columbia College Foundation to celebrate his nomination for the “Transforming Lives Award” and was honored at an awards banquet in Olympia in January.

About Transforming Lives The Washington State Association of College Trustees (ACT) created the Transforming Lives Awards program in 2012 to recognize current or former students whose lives have been transformed by pursuing higher education at a community or technical college.

“Gordon is a motivated and enthusiastic person. His love of learning makes him a great “I watched my single mother employee.
