Adult Learning and Workforce Development Established in 1966, this program was the first in the city fully accessible to Latino adult English language learners. In its early years, it offered English Language Learning (ELL) and preparation for the GED in Spanish and English. Today, the program is accessible to any academically under prepared adult. Monthly, over 350 adults receive ESL, basic literacy, adult secondary education, GED/HSED, Drivers’ Education, Citizenship classes, financial literacy directed at immigrants, vocational training classes, such as computer skills, and other basic educational skills. This program is a gateway to social participation and mobility for recent arrivals and other economically challenged adults. It is well underway to become an adult life-long learning workforce development institute that will offer adult enrichment courses, opportunities for pre-college preparation, and transition to sustainable job training programs. It will also advocate for more educational opportunities for adults, research and funding for adult education and workforce development.
