Adult Basic Education (ABE)/Career Services
The Adult Basic Education (ABE) /Career Services strand is geared towards any adult over age 16, who is interested in academic classes targeted towards earning a high school credential, and who can dedicate up to 10 hours a week/ 2 hours a day towards this goal. Four levels of instruction are offered mornings and evenings both in-person and online to accommodate work schedules and other time commitments. Digital literacy classes, individual tutoring, career services, and counseling as well as many other support services are also available.
The Adult Basic Education (ABE)/Career Services staff partners with learners to advance and accelerate their academic achievement to the level required for success in postsecondary education/training or employment. One key goal of our ABE classes is to provide opportunities for participants to secure their HiSET diploma. Many of Julie’s ABE students are already employed and need their HiSET diploma to advance within their current organization or to qualify for additional career opportunities. Once this important milestone is achieved, staff work with graduates to chart a transition plan to higher education, job training, union apprenticeships and/or employment.
