EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
GED / WORK READINESS (HI-SET / GED Preparation Program)
The Adult Literacy Program provides students with every opportunity to build a strong foundation for their future as successful, contributing members of society.
CCFBA recognizes that many participants come to us without the credits needed to earn a traditional Louisiana high school diploma. For these individuals, this program offers an excellent alternative pathway.
Our HI-SET/GED Preparation Programequips students with the knowledge and skills needed to take and pass the GED exam and earn their General Educational Development diploma.
The program is designed for adults who have a valid reason for pursuing a GED. It provides comprehensive instruction in life skills, family relationship counseling, career and vocational development, and work readiness training, including résumé writing and job-seeking skills—all aimed at preparing participants to successfully earn their GED and transition into the workforce..
