From GED Prep to College Success

Adults enroll in WCC’s GED preparation program to complete something they started. Now the program has several new components to help them set their next set of goals. At the top of the list: continuing on for a college certificate or degree.

Students Encourage Students to Finish Their WCC Degrees

WCC’s Beta Gamma Alpha chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society is encouraging students to take a pledge to finish college. Students can make pledges during Completion Day, an event PTK is sponsoring on Wednesday, Dec. 7, from noon to 3:00pm on the second floor of the Student Center building.

Employer Perspective is Important to WCC Programs

If you’re an employer, would you like a say in what your current and future employees learn in a college classroom? You can have such input if your workers graduate with a vocational/technical certificate or degree from WCC. Those disciplines benefit from the College’s industry-related advisory committees.
