YOU

This program is for adults seeking to learn valuable skills, including how to communicate effectively, manage your time wisely, cope with stress, gain practical problem-solving abilities, and make better decisions for your career and personal life.

 

The developed skills allow participants to confidently identify and maintain employment and education or training opportunities.

The Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC)  

As of May 3, 2024, the GED is no longer available in Canada. Previously passed GED test scores will be recognized for test exemption (and count towards the new assessment) until May 2027. Nova Scotia will start CAEC testing in Summer 2024.  

 

The CAEC Preparation Program gives adult learners the opportunity to prepare for the CAEC set of exams in a classroom setting with low instructor-to-learner ratios so that they can gain a high school equivalency and apply for a job or apply to post-secondary with that credential as a prerequisite.  

In-Home Family Literacy & Learning Program

The In-Home Family Literacy and Learning Program provides caregivers of pre-school aged children the opportunity to learn in the comfort of their own home. Our IHLLP team consists of an adult educator and an early childhood educator who work together to improve the literacy skills of families in our area.

​
