Those interested in the skill-building program need only call the Adult Transitions phone number, as Hazel Pressley did, to get started. Counseling and testing are done so students can be advised of how to meet their educational goals. Admission to the program is open, free, and has no deadline as courses operate on a rolling schedule. You just need to figure out what you want to do. As long as it's reasonably within your abilities, we can help make it happen.
Most students are able to begin within a few weeks of their first phone call.
Skill-building courses are available at six locations. Those interested in upgrading their prospects for income and employment might also consider earning one of WCC's transition certificates. These can usually be earned in one semester or less. After completing a skill-building course and passing her GED test, Hazel Pressley went on to earn a certificate as a nursing assistant. She says that gave her the confidence to charge more for her services as a home health aide.
