College & Career Readiness

College and Career Readiness provides adult learners (16 or older) with a wide range of student-centered learning experiences tailored to meet their unique needs.

Our program prepares, encourages, and empowers adult learners to continue their post-secondary education, productively take part in society and ultimately reach their full potential as parents, community members, and employees.

College and Career Readiness is a proud partner of #MoveAheadWithAdultEd, a new national campaign enrolling adult learners into career training programs that equip them with skills that lead to jobs paying a family-sustaining wage.

The campaign targets the millions of Americans who need to reskill or upskill to re-enter the workforce.
