HiSET is a high school equivalency (HSE) exam that expands opportunities for those without a traditional high school diploma, readying individuals for success in the workforce.

Move Ahead With Adult Ed

Why is Adult Education Important to Move Ahead?

Good jobs and most training programs require more than a high school diploma. People with a high school diploma earn $6,000+ more a year than those without one. Improve your reading, writing and math skills for a better life or train for a new career through adult education.

GUDELIA CONTRERAS

Gudelia came to the United States almost 25 years ago. Earning her GED in Spanish at Oregon Adult Basic Skills and improving her English reading and writing skills propelled her from the brutal work on the processing floor of a fish cannery to a job in human resources. Five years ago, she was hired by a nonprofit to provide health outreach to low-income clients. Her good work earned her a spot on the boards of Seaside Providence Foundation and the Clatsop Community College Foundation. In 2018, she earned an associate degree from Clatsop Community College and is now enrolled full-time at Portland State University with a goal to become a professor.

Teachers / Administrators / Local Programs

COABE and NASDAE joined forces to deploy a three-time global award winning national campaign which includes a toolkit for adult educators.

The purpose of the campaign toolkit is to provide outreach materials and language to help adult education organizations with proactive tools to communicate the value of adult education. The campaign also enables programs to “get on the map” as COABE leverages the power of Google ads to help adult learners find programs.

 

Many local programs have seen an increase in program enrollment since joining the movement which kicked off in August 2020.
