A NEW ERA OF
CONTINUING EDUCATION
      The New Year is upon us, so what’s next in your life? A new career, a path
towards promotion? Are you interested in earning a certification, pursuing your
curiosity, learning a new skill, or learning a foreign language? From elementary
through retirement, our innovative courses and programs will prepare you for
whatever is next, giving you the skills you need to live your best life. CTC is
committed to providing top-quality learning experiences, and we are eager to
showcase our new spring classes along with many past favorites.

      The spring programming plan allows us to expand access into new
locations and create new partnerships to train more people. We continually
partner with businesses, employers, communities, and organizations to develop
programs. CTC will adapt our training programs to meet the dynamic changes in
the job market and help employers or employees or those seeking work respond
effectively. The momentum from spring’s success will spread as we launch new
courses in new places this upcoming summer and beyond. The summer will
be a fantastic starting point for the new “Beyond the Stars” College for Kids
program.

       We look forward to giving students of all ages the best we have to offer.
Thank you for allowing Continuing Education to be your choice for training and
lifelong learning.

ADULT EDUCATION
        & LITERACY
       Adult Education & Literacy (AEL) provides services for eligible individuals
who are basic skills deficient, do not have a secondary school diploma or its
recognized equivalent and have not achieved an equivalent level of education or
is an English language learner.

       Adult Education & Literacy instruction are designed to expand the
educational opportunities for adults and to establish programs that will enable
adults to acquire basic skills necessary to function in society and allow them to
secure training that will allow them to become more employable, productive, and
responsible citizens as well as enabling them to continue their education to at
least the level of completion of secondary school. Our English Language Learner
(ELL) classes are designed to help students build their reading, writing, listening,
and speaking skills.

      Our students take classes for many reasons, including preparing for
college, finding a job, and being more comfortable speaking English in the
community. In addition, the classes are aimed at building confidence, comfort,
and competence in oral and written communication. Along with developing
communication skills through our very interactive courses, we are committed to
building cognitive and non-cognitive skills, making students more independent
and responsible individuals. The program will also provide training through
concurrent or co-enrollment in Workforce Training programs, including co-
enrollment in IET programs and employment advancement. This program will
help you prepare for unsubsidized employment in-demand industries and
occupations that lead to economic self-sufficiency.

      Career services are also available. In addition, a Career Navigator is
available to help students plan educational and career goals.
