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.

(Three Rivers Workforce Investment Board, 2014)

  • Education and Training Options
    • On the Job Training (OJT), certificates, diplomas, degrees.
  • Standards-Based Instruction
    • College and Career Readiness Standards for Adult Education (CCRS).
  • Instructional strategies for students at all levels
    • Study skills, note taking, test preparation, reading comprehension.
  • Life-skill building
  • Skills that we use daily such as communication, time management, and problem solving.
