The Adult Education program operates year-round on an open-entry/open-exit basis.  The services of this program are FREE to eligible JWCC District residents who lack basic reading, writing, math, job-seeking and job retention skills and/or who do not have high school diplomas.  This program is also open to those who have not mastered English as a second language or seek preparation to take the GED (General Educational Development) exam.

Students enrolled in JWCC's individualized adult education program have proven to be highly successful.  Participants are first assessed for placement; they then work at their own individual pace with instructor assistance.  Students proceed through various levels until their goals are met.

Adult education classes are offered at the main campus and the Uptown Adult Education Learning Center in Quincy and the Pittsfield Education Center in Pittsfield.  Instructional materials are loaned to students in the program without charge.  Assistance with transportation cost is available.
