At the Coalition of Adult Basic Education (COABE) National Conference in March, Kelly again shared her presentation about student success and she co-presented GED Testing Services…Helping Learners and Graduates Achieve Employability Goals.
Kelly bridged the gap between GED graduation and gainful employment. As a general session panelist for Connecting GED Grads to Job Opportunities, she spotlighted the innovative Partners 4 Success program.
The staff of SAEC are not just participants in the field of adult education, they are leaders. By sharing their knowledge with other educators they help transform lives through learning. Their contributions stretch beyond conference presentations and support success in classrooms, communities and careers.
