Through the Kern Adult Education Consortium, adult schools and community colleges in Kern County are working together to expand access to adult education and develop programs that align with workforce needs. The consortium works closely with the local Workforce Development Board to determine what certification and training programs it should offer to help students obtain lucrative employment upon graduation.
Students can earn a high school diploma or prepare for GED/HiSet exams at local adult schools, with no out-of- pocket expense. Committed educators help guide students through the programs, which also include ESL and citizenship. With assistance from the consortium, students have access to affordable associate degree and certificate programs in areas that have a strong workforce demand.
Our team of experienced adult education specialists are dedicated to providing new career opportunities for adult learners across our region by connecting them with the right programs at the right locations across the consortium.
