Adult Education Center announces Classes

Independence Community College’s Adult Education Center, at ICC West, has scheduled a six-week class to begin on Monday, January 3rd. The Center is offering the preparation classes on three schedules to better serve the students and offer more flexibility. The classes assist students in preparing for the GED® tests, workforce readiness, and college readiness.

Candidates must register for orientation prior to Wednesday, December 15th and can do so by visiting or calling the center. The students are required to meet with an advisor at the Center prior to the session start date and can make an appointment for that advisor meeting when they complete their paper work.

Students have the option of choosing between three schedules. Classes meet Monday through Thursday, in the mornings from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., in the afternoons from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., or in the late afternoon and early evening from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. On Fridays the Center offers a college readiness class from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

The classes have three purposes. They prepare students to receive a Kansas State High School Diploma, receive a WorkReady Certificate, and to improve college entrance exams scores. Students passing the GED® exam receive a Kansas State High School Diploma. Students passing the WorkKeys® test receive a Bronze, Silver, and Gold WorkReady® Certificate. Students take college entrance exams upon entering and exiting the program, so level college readiness can be explained.

The Adult Education Center is located in ICC’s newest facility, ICC West, located at 2615 W. Main, Independence. All interested candidates should contact the ICC Adult Education Center in person or by calling at (620) 332-5630.
