We urge our clients to get their GED if they have not completed high school. Our success rate is growing each year. My People s Job Counseling Program has added a Computer Literacy Program to help train those looking for work in how to use computers. A self-help tutorial allows the Client to proceed at their own pace as they have time. A separate touch-typing course is also provided.
Counseling is done by appointment.
My People has a retired attorney volunteer on call who is available to offer free legal counseling, etc. My People now has volunteers who are trained to help others learn to read and write. A fairly large number of adult Americans are considered functionally illiterate. Many clients think they are the only ones who can't read and thus are reluctant to ask for help. If you know of any adult who needs help in reading or writing, please contact our Office Supervisor, who will put our literacy counselors in contact with the person referred for help.
