Welcome

The Northwest Michigan Adult Learning Partnership invites you to explore opportunities for education - whether it's earning a GED, improving math or reading skills, or moving on to college.  We're here to help.

How to use this website:

Why College? Read about the importance of a college education.

Are You Ready? Look at what it takes to attend college and be successful, then find out if you are ready.

Get Started: Find the training programs for you.

Colleges: Learn about the help that is available for adult learners at local colleges.

Why should you go to college? Because you can!

College isn't just about four year degrees: there are certificate programs as well as shorter-term degree programs. Many programs are flexible and allow you to take classes on the weekends, evenings, or online.

Take some time to think about your goals, then make a plan. We can help you through the process.
