SUCCESS STORIES
Jennifer Hanson
Petoskey
Jennifer Hanson and her husband Randy both earned their GEDs at the Petoskey Adult Education Learning Lab. Jennifer was selected as one of the student speakers at the 2011 Adult Education Commencement Ceremony. "If I was going to get a better job, or go to college, or set a good example for my daughter, I needed to go back to school and finish my education," said Jennifer. She and and Randy both enrolled at NCMC.
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.
