Adult Basic Education (ABE)-to-College Transition class at Holyoke Community College
The ABE/College Transition Program is a collaboration between CEP and Holyoke Community College. This free comprehensive program is a bridge to higher education for people in Hampden and Hampshire Counties. Individuals who are at least 18 years old, have earned a high school diploma more than four years ago, or who have a GED are encouraged to apply. The class provides a supportive community learning environment for people who have experienced barriers to higher education; who feel academically or otherwise unprepared for college. The curriculum includes instruction in Math, Reading and Writing aimed at developing college level proficiency. Computer skills and study strategies are taught; extensive mentoring and tutoring services are provided. * Because the class takes place at HCC, students have full access to the resources of the college including counseling and advising in English and Spanish; assistance with financial aid and the college admission application. Free bus passes are provided for students who require access to public transportation.

Testimonial
"I found the ABE/College Transition Program enlightening and informative. Without this program I probably wouldn't have considered going back to school. I felt too intimidated and frustrated. Thank you to the staff of the program for all of your support.
