Free Adult Education Registration Days Coming Soon to South Suburban College


SOUTH HOLLAND, IL—(ENEWSPF)—August 30, 2013. South Suburban College’s Community Education Department is offering a wide range of opportunities for adults to build the basic skills required for success. Celebrate International Literacy Day (September 8) with SSC by letting someone know about these free programs.

Adult Basic Education (ABE) helps men and women whose skill levels are below the ninth grade.  ABE students improve their skills in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics.  Many adults choose to further build on these skills and pursue a high school education through the General Education Development (GED) program.  The GED program will develop the skills required to pass the GED exams.  Studies will include Language Arts–Writing, Social Studies, Science, Language Arts–Reading, Mathematics, and the US and Illinois Constitutions.  Additionally, English as a Second Language (ESL) allows non-native students to improve their English skills from beginning to advanced levels. 

Most of the Community Education programs are offered both full and part-time at the Main Campus in South Holland or the University & College Center (UCC) in Oak Forest.  At the time of registration, all students will take a Placement Test.  The registration and testing days are starting up the second week of September.
