The Adult Education Program at Georgia Northwestern Technical College (GNTC) is offering a new Saturday Accelerated Program in Chattooga, Murray, Polk, and Whitfield counties as part of the Literacy to Workforce Initiative (LWI).
Classes begin June 6 and will meet on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Participants have the opportunity to earn their GED®diploma in as little as six months and students also may earn their GeogiaBEST certificate as part of the program.
To be eligible for the program, students must be 16 years old or over and have a score of 6.9 or above on the Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE).
Adults over the age of 18 who meet Workforce Investment Act (WIA) eligibility may be able to receive financial support.
A collaboration between the Technical College System of Georgia’s Office of Adult Education and the Georgia Office of Workforce Development, the Literacy to Workforce Initiative focuses on 10 counties in Georgia where 28% or more of the adult population does not have a high school or GED® diploma.
GNTC serves four of the counties identified in the 10 county area: Chattooga, Murray, Polk and Whitfield. The initiative fosters a partnership between GNTC’s Adult Education Program and the Northwest Georgia Regional Commission Workforce Investment Agency to provide key services to students who are seeking a GED diploma and employment.
