SUCCESS STORIES
Anita Herring
Kalkaska
Anita Herring spent one hundred thirty hours at the Kalkaska Adult Education Learning Lab, and that helped her do something she didn't do 22 years ago...earn her high school diploma. Now she plans on going to college to study child development. "I'm really proud of myself," said Herring.
The Northwest Michigan Adult Learning Partnership was formed to assist adult learners with the often difficult task of transitioning from Adult Education to post-secondary education.
Adults in Northwest Michigan can participate in several initiatives that introduce them to programs and resources at local colleges. Those initiatives include Campus Visits, Financial Aid Workshops, Study Skills Classes, Mentoring relationships, and Career Education and Training Fairs.
The Partnership consists of the following partners:
- TBA ISD Adult Education/Northwest Michigan Works!
- Northwest Michigan Works!
- Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District
- North Central Michigan College
- Northwestern Michigan College
- Baker College of Cadillac
- Kirtland Community College - M-TEC at Gaylord
- West Shore Community College
- Grand Traverse Literacy Council
- Michigan Rehabilitation Services-Northern Division
