Adult education classes to begin
Community Action Southwest’s Adult Education Program, designed to assist residents of Greene and Washington counties ages 17 and older to improve their skills and/or obtain their General Education Development diploma in order to secure employment or to enroll in a trade school or college, is now accepting new students.
A full schedule of classes is in place in the two-county area. Classes are taught every Monday, Wednesday and Friday each week at the Greene, Mon Valley and Washington PA CareerLink sites. Additionally, classes are offered in Carmichaels, Burgettstown and Washington Tuesdays and in Waynesburg and Washington Thursdays until 7 p.m. each week.
Upon enrollment and orientation, Pennsylvania-certified instructors work with students to determine their weekly class schedule. Volunteer tutors are also available to meet with students in local libraries or other neutral meeting locations throughout both counties. Students enrolled in the program are also partnered with a trained case manager who will work with them to help them to find employment and/or to enroll in a trade school or college.
