Adult Opportunity Center
Adult Basic and Literacy
Education (ABLE) classes are provided on each campus and in several
off-campus locations (click here for tentative class schedule),
making services available in all five counties in the SSCC service
area. Morning, afternoon and evening classes are available with
fully qualified instructors present at each site. A variety of
services are offered:
1. Adult literacy
2. GED preparation (GED
testing center)
3. Nursing program preparation
4.
College refresher/readiness
courses
5. Workforce education
6. Reading, writing, math
improvement
7. English for Speakers of Other
Languages (ESOL)
The ABLE program is offered FREE
to any qualified individual who is at least 18 years old. All books
and materials are provided and no fees are charged for instruction.
Following assessment, students work with the ABLE staff to establish
an Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) to assist in defining goals
and developing activities. ILPs are designed to assist students in
meeting their own educational or career objectives.
The ABLE Program offers services
for improving the basic skills of reading, writing, and math.
Parents will enroll to be better
equipped at helping their children with homework. Other adults
enroll just for self-improvement. Enrollment is open to any adult
who has a deficiency in any of these areas.
GED preparation is available to
those who wish to complete their secondary education. Instructors
are trained in what it takes to pass the GED and excellent materials
are available to students who enroll. The Official GED Practice Test
is administered to determine readiness for the actual GED Test.
Those who meet score requirements, may be eligible for a Fee Wavier
for the GED, a savings of $65.
For speakers of other languages,
the ESOL program provides instruction in speaking, listening, and
writing in English. These classes meet at the North Campus. ESOL
students may transition into ABLE classes, if needed to meet
addition goals.
Orientation is the first step for
all enrolling students. Pre-registration is required. The process
includes registration, assessment, development of student goals, and
information about the program. Orientation is offered several times
each month.
For additional information or
pre-registration for any of the sites, call the AOC office at (937)
393-3431 or 1-800-628-7722, extension 2687.
