CCAC's Bridge to College and Career Pathways Program is seeking volunteer tutors to assist students in our program. We provide instruction for adults who have not completed high school (or need to pass pre-employment tests) and want to strengthen their academic skills to develop the critical thinking and reasoning skills required to pass the GED, HiSet, or pass pre-employment or college entrance exams. Through participation in the program, students can expect to increase their Reading, Language Arts, Social Studies and Mathematics skills and work toward attaining a Commonwealth Secondary School Diploma, enter the workforce and/or attain a more sustainable family wage.

Mission Statement
To provide affordable access to quality education and offer a dynamic, diverse and supportive learning environment that prepares the region’s residents for academic, professional and personal success in our changing global society.
Description
Our program goal is to act as a "bridge’ to postsecondary education or training and work place opportunities by improving adult basic skills and preparing students for their next step. To meet this goal, the program uses a Career Pathways Framework focusing on:
- Regional High-Priority Industry Occupations (HPO’s)
- HPOs are job categories, within selected industry clusters, that are in demand by employers, have higher skill needs and are likely to provide family-sustaining wages.
