It used to be that you could get a high paying job with a high school diploma. In 1973 62% of all employment required a high school diploma or less. Over the last 40 years the type of job openings has changed; jobs are requiring greater technical training, use of more technology, with complex critical thinking and problem solving skills. Today's jobs require education beyond what was previously expected. By 2018 63% of all job openings will require workers with at least some college education according to a study by The Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, June 2010. So if this is the world our current students are going into then our and universities is at the College mindset has to shift.

"We took a building that was an eyesore and repurposed it into something that was beautiful and useful," DeFreece said. "To do this, we utilized local resources for labor and materials. It truly is an investment in the community." We wanted the Visitor Center to be more than a place to pick up a brochure, Gray said. We hoped to engage visitors and excite them to experience what Tehama County has to offer. To accomplish this goal, Gray worked closely with Joe Vine of the Copy Center and his team to create displays showcasing local products and attractions, including Lassen Volcanic National Park, The Abbey of New Clairvaux, local wineries, agribusinesses and olive and olive oil tasting venues. "We certainly are blessed to have creative minds such as Joe Vine and his staff available in our community," said DeFreece. "They developed and designed displays that are not only representative of our community, but are also extremely engaging through color and creativity. A prime example of their creativity is the large relief of Lassen Peak (the first display to greet visitors) with the Reach Your Peak logo developed through the Branding Project."

Gray recalled the moment she realized the Visitor Center was a success. "At the grand opening my eight-year-old daughter, Chloe, was standing in front of the Lassen Volcanic National Park display. She pointed at the different pictures and said, 'Mom, I want to go there . . . and there . . . and do that . . . and that.' That was the moment I felt we reached our goal." Bullock agreed. "The Visitor Center displays are gorgeous," Bullock said. "They do an amazing job of promoting the many things tourists can see and do when they visit our area." The Visitor Center also exhibits local art in a conference room that doubles as a gallery when there are no meetings scheduled. The gallery features images from the International Juried Glass Eye Photography Show hosted by the Tehama County Photography Club. Crucial to its success, the Visitor Center is on Antelope Boulevard, near Interstate 5 and Highway 36. According to Bullock, many of the tourists who stop at the Center are in route to Lassen Park or a destination outside the area and need directions or information. Some, such as the couple from Germany, decide to spend more time than they planned in the area because of their visit to the Visitor Center. Pit stop • A resident near McCoy Road reported there was a vehicle parked at the end of a neighbor's driveway that seemed suspicious because the neighbor wasn't home. A deputy made contact with a man on State Route 36W who explained he had run out of gas and had to walk to AM-PM to get more fuel. Prowler • A resident on the 19000 block of Luna "The Visitor Center is extremely important for our tourism marketing efforts because it directly promotes overnight lodging, visits to restaurants, and shopping as well as local attractions," said Kathryn Sarmiento, CEO of the Job Training Center and member of the Tehama County Branding Committee. "Even if a tourist is just passing through, if they stop at the Visitor Center, they become aware of reasons to make Tehama Country a destination for future travel." Tourism is a $75 billion dollar industry in California, and most people travel by car and RV, which is why the location of the Visitor Center is so important and strategic to those traveling to Lassen Park, Los Angeles, Oregon and the Bay Area. Sarmiento believes the Visitor Center will be of particular interest in the fall to the growing number of "snow bird" RV travelers over 55 with more time to explore destinations. "Tourism is California's third largest employer," said Sarmiento. "Tourism creates jobs and opportunities, and spurs economic growth. The Visitor Center plays a vital role in capitalizing on the tourism market and achieving our economic development goals."
