Adult Basic Education helps students increase employability skills in reading, math, and digital literacy skills for transition into high-demand jobs or post-secondary education. Students are college ready. We teach valued work skills such as Critical Thinking, Information Technology Applications, Career Management, Resume Development, Soft Skills, Teamwork, Exploring Career Pathways, Presentational Skills, and Interviewing Techniques. Students will explore a career learning about the skills needed, personality traits, the starting salary, and the range of stackable credentials you can earn. You will learn about the job growth and the demand for the job in this area. Students earn an Employment 101 certificate.

Classes are in person for 10 weeks on Tuesdays/Thursdays from 6:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at Palatine High School and via Zoom. Classes begin in January.
