Study Skills Classes
Study Skills are important tools for the person going on to college. At the Northwest Michigan Works! Service Centers, Study Skills workshops are offered once a month by Adult Education Learning Lab instructors. Workshop participants learn how to improve their reading comprehension and effectively read a textbook. The process of taking meaningful notes and preparing for tests is also reviewed. Time management is another important skill for a successful college experience.
