We are delighted to have you as a guest! At the Center for Adult & Community Services, we believe that there are multiple entry points to a Career Pathway. Our clients are both the participants who are seeking training and the businesses who may have opportunities for employees, incumbent or new.
Our Workforce Preparation Programs provide choices from among high caliber curriculum that hone proficiencies in skillsets ranging from the entry-level to the highly skilled. We have NYSED approved programs in our Adult Literacy department which provides foundations in ESL, Citizenship, and HS Equivalency Exam Prep. In our Continuing Education department, many of our courses that are on the NYS Approved Provider List have classes that stand-alone, or are stackable and lead to a credential. All of which is available to make the participant's experience the best it can be.
These options afford our participants the flexibility of choices that make sense in their busy lives. Succeeding in today's fast-paced world requires a great deal of balancing of time, schedules, and even checkbooks. We get it! To that end, I invite you to navigate our website to learn more. Discover the many different pathways available to participants who decide to prepare for a dream career. Read about financial assistance resources that may be available. If you are a business entity and are in need of customized trainings we can discuss that, too. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or wish to explore new opportunities.
