all materials needed for the students successful
completion of their Individual Education Plan. We
offer:
-
GED Program
The
Crossroads Career & Academic Center graduates the equivalent of
a small High School Senior Class every year. We
utilize a back to basics individual approach to our
lesson plans. Our adult learners learn by doing!
We set our clients up for success.
-
Vocational
Training Program
The
vocational training program is designed to prepare the
participants to learn supervisory skills, food service
skills, how to maintain proper sanitation and health
conditions. We also include a Prep Cook training
and teach you how to work with people.
Quite often
those who complete the training (run by Food Services)
get jobs in the community doing food service work.

Q & A
-
I
dropped out of High School and never got my GED.
I find it hard to get a job now. How can I
get my GED?
-
Our GED Program is open to the community
as well as for the homeless and program
clients. Your first step is to
have a desire to better yourself and
then make the call, or come to the
Career & Academic Center (Mon-Fri 8am-4pm).
We will set you up with an Individual
Education Plan based on the results of
an assessment test that you will take.
-
I
don't have much money, how much does this cost?
-
I
am embarrassed to admit that I cannot read or do
math that well. What about me?
-
We provide a safe, positive, trusting,
honest, and professional environment
focusing on your strength! It is
more embarrassing not to improve
yourself.
