Mission

Provide working adults with an accessible program to prepare the GED exam and to improve skills, increase earnings, and allow students to embark on a successful career ladder. One general program is at Career Resources and another program, ReEntry Adult Education specifically for ex-offenders, is offered at the Council of Churches and Maple St. House.

Eligibility

Any working adult who wishes to improve basic skills. Many feel uncomfortable in the city’s adult education, or can’t attend due to work or family commitments. The State program focuses on ex-offenders.
