Accelerating Opportunity Kentucky

Mission

Education & Training on the Fast Track.

Description

Accelerating Opportunity Kentucky has been designed for you if:

• You need a better job and know you need to go to college, but you're in a hurry and
• You don't have a GED or high school diploma, or
• You just need some help with reading, writing, and/or math.

In as little as 16 weeks, you could have:

• 12 - 15 college credits, and
• 1 -3 certificates in a career pathway, and
• Improved basic skills, and/or
• A GED.

In the Accelerating Opportunity Kentucky initiative, basic skills such as reading, writing, and math, are taught along with your chosen technical program, such as Construction or Office Systems Technology, by two instructors working together in the same classroom. The classes are small so if you need help with a problem, you'll have immediate access to an instructor. The classes are also intense: most classes meet four days a week for three to four hours a day, which means you can reach your goals in a hurry.

While you're working with your instructors, you'll also be working with a Career Coach from the Kentucky Career Center, who will help you with your job search, including resume preparation, job applications, and job leads – all at no cost to you.
