For
those who want to go to college, we offer a class called
"College Preparation for Adults". This is a
free 15 week course for adults who have a high school
diploma, an adult diploma or a GED certificate. Students
spend this time developing the essential skills they will
need to succeed in the demanding colege environment. Instructors
focus on reading, writing, math, speaking, active listening
and effective note-taking. Students also improve their
computer skills and learn how to use the Internet for
schoolwork. Our career counselor helps students map out
their career paths to reach their goals.
In
addition to gaining valuable academic skills, participants
in this program become familiar with other aspects of
college life. Classes focus on filling out college applications,
applying for financial aid, campus living, course expectations
and grading policies.
