REACH 1 - Literacy and GED Readiness Program
Open to Staff and Family Members of Faculty and Staff
Reach 1 provides eligible university employees the opportunity to improve their basic literacy skills and to prepare for the GED (equivalency diploma). With Reach 1, you work at your own pace on a course of instruction created especially for you. Professional instructors guide you every step of the way. The program is free to employees - the university provides materials and instruction.
Class times are flexible, allowing employees to attend on their own time or on work time with supervisor approval. Participants in the program are expected to set goals and to attend class on a regular basis. Individuals may enter the program at any time during the year and leave the program when their goals are achieved.
"Reach 1 helped me to earn my GED. The teachers are helpful and caring. The classes are small, so you receive individual attention. It's a wonderful program!"- Virginia Skiver, Asst. Air Quality Technician Physical Facilities
