LEWISTON – Due to grant funding, the College Transition Program and the Career Transitions: Health Care Edition program will be available at no cost to participants through Lewiston Adult Education.

Morning, afternoon and evening course schedules are available. The College Transition program begins Sept. 7 and the Career Transitions: Health Care Edition program starts Sept. 2.

Adults who participate in College Transition Programs may improve their chances of success in college. They score higher on pre-tests, which allows them to save money by testing directly into credit-bearing courses. They get accustomed to the habits of attending classes, completing assignments and preparing for exams.

Both programs are designed to prepare adults to be competitive college applicants and successful college students. Participants in the programs refresh the reading, writing and math skills needed for college-level work, develop the study techniques that have been proven to help adults in college and participate in interest and skill inventories that will guide them as they choose a major or course of study.

Adults in these programs will also have ample support as they get ready to apply to college. They will make connections with college faculty and staff, meet with financial aid experts and get tips from recent College and Career Transitions alums who are now college students.

For adults interested in a career in health care, the Career Transitions: Health Care Edition program provides all the college transition program coursework, plus additional skill and interest assessments specific to the health care field, as well as a science course to prepare participants for college courses in the health sciences.
