Washington, PA – Area residents who passed some subjects of the 2002 Series GED® exam have until December 31, 2015 to have their passing scores count towards the new 2014 Series GED® exam. Community Action Southwest’s Adult Education Program’s Pennsylvania-Certified Teachers will help students’ access their previous scores and prepare them to pass the remaining subjects of the new test so they can obtain their GED credential.
Community Action Southwest’s Adult Education Program is designed to assist residents age 17 or older to obtain their GED and/or increase their learning skills in order to secure employment or attend a trade school or college is enrolling new students.
A full schedule of classes is in-place in Washington and Greene Counties. Classes are taught every Monday, Wednesday and Friday each week at the Greene, Mon Valley and Washington PA CareerLink sites.
Additionally, CAS also offers classes in Carmichaels, Bentleyville and Burgettstown on Tuesday afternoons and on Thursdays in Carmichaels and Washington until 7 p.m. each week.
Upon enrollment and orientation, Pennsylvania-Certified Instructors work with students to determine the appropriate level of classes they will attend in addition to establishing their weekly class schedule.
Students enrolled in the program are also partnered with a trained case manager who will work with them on job development and trade school or college enrollment procedures. With the help of their case manager, students are able to explore career options and overcome barriers while being connected to some of the area’s largest employers and postsecondary schools.
