Fall 2021 Success is a choice - Central Texas College
A NEW ERA OF
CONTINUING EDUCATION
       The immediate past, current COVID-19 cautions, and the reemergence of
some pre-pandemic activity have provided an opportunity to expand on how
Central Texas College provides Education. This Fall, we are prepared to offer
flexible options to learn online, in the classroom, and blended formats as we
navigate the changes to our world. What is consistently clear is we at CTC are
committed to providing top-quality learning experiences no matter the barriers
or limitations; therefore, we are eager to showcase our new Fall classes, along
with many past favorites.

      We are expanding access to our programs into new locations and creating
new partnerships to reach more people in the upcoming year. The summer
proved to be a fantastic starting point for this new focus through the College for
Kids program. Our College for Kids participants had an incredible time amid the
changing CDC guidelines and COVID-19 vaccine distribution; yet, this summer,
Continuing Education increased our College for Kids programming through new
partnerships in new locations. We will continue the College for Kids program
expansion in the Fall through unique course offerings. The momentum from
summer’s success will spread as we launch new courses in new locations this
Fall and beyond.

       In the future, you can expect exceptional opportunities to gain high-
demand skills, acquire industry certifications, and ignite the lifelong learner
within while maintaining our commitment to safety for instructors and students
in virtual or physical classrooms. Thank you for allowing Continuing Education
to be your choice for training and lifelong learning.

You can contact us by phone to register or ask questions at 254-526-1586 or
email at continue.education@ctcd.edu.

Thanks,

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.

   To find out more about the wonderful opportunities available, please contact the
