Adult Education & Literacy

The Key to Achieve and the Support to Succeed

Adult Education & Literacy programs provide English as a Second Language (ESL), High School Equivalency (GED), and Workforce Preparation to help students acquire the skills needed to succeed in the workforce, enter college or enter a career training. 

The Mission of the Adult Education & Literacy program is to equip adults with the educational opportunities necessary to become self-sufficient individuals and to provide a linkage to career pathways. To promote and support a responsive and accountable system that creates value and supports local solutions to addressing the educational and workforce development needs of Adult Education & Literacy students, businesses, and community stakeholders. 

Our Vision is to deliver education, workforce, and postsecondary education and training outcomes for students through innovative service delivery and partnerships that result in statewide alignments, efficiencies, and accountability.
