Shasta - Tehama - Trinity Adult Education Consortium



Consortia Involved:

Shasta-Tehama-Trinity Adult Education Consortium

Many adult education students face significant anxieties about returning to complete their high school diploma, often feeling embarrassed or fearing failure. Additionally, over 90% of these students have never received career guidance and are unaware of local opportunities like free college tuition, vocational training, or financial aid. To address this, the program helps bridge the gap between earning a diploma and pursuing further education or training by introducing students to available resources, career options, and step-by-step guidance to success.
