Special training is available for non-working adults. By focusing on basic computer, language, math and metalworking skills, JARC is able to assist many job seekers in finding well-paying jobs. JARC also assists adults with their personal education goals. Many adults throughout the Chicago area cannot read, or read with great difficulty. Through the literacy tutoring, pre-GED classes and life skills seminars, students find the confidence and the ability to reach for goals previously beyond their expectations.
Students choose to participate in writing groups, public readings, and publishing opportunities.
With these programs, JARC helps adults empower themselves by meeting their individual education and employment goals. JARC's adult, youth and community programs enjoy a broad funding base from many local and national partners. Copyright 2000 by Net Reflections, Ltd. and Jane Addams Resource Corporation.
