Adult Education provides academic and enrichment programming to local communities. Academic programming includes high school completion (a traditional diploma or the HiSET--formerly the GED), college and career exploration and transition support, workforce development training, English language acquisition, digital literacy, and family literacy. Students receive support through classes and advising sessions. Many academic offerings are free of charge. If there is a fee, the program can refer student to financial aid services to help cover the costs. We can also refer students to other service providers to assist with meeting needs such as transportation, childcare, food, housing, etc.
In addition to career and college transition support in our individual programs, we also have a Career and College Success Coordinator who provides additional support to students across the Hub.
We are eager to partner with employers to provide needed training to upskill on onboard your employees.
Enrichment programming can span a wide variety of topics, including art, music, fitness, crafts, and more. These classes often charge a fee.

What to expect
Academic students can expect to complete the intake process first, which includes paperwork and class placement testing. From there, students are enrolled in classes and advising that best suit their needs and goals. Programs may run formal semesters or have rolling admission. Students can also expect an attendance policy, which varies by program. Programs may only offer in-person classes, or they may offer a combination of in-person, remote, and hybrid classes.
Enrichment students may sign up for classes online, in-person, or through the mail. No intake or testing is required for enrichment students.
