Return to Learn: JCC to host workshop to encourage adult learners
Are you an adult who has thought about returning to college but have just never taken that step? Jackson Community College will host a workshop for adults interested in returning to college on Thursday, Nov. 17, from 7-9 p.m. in the Potter Center.
This workshop is open to all adults who would like to learn more about online learning, financial aid, choosing the right career, and an introduction to campus resources. A $100 tuition voucher will be given to those who attend (recipients must not have been JCC students for the last two years, have completed 12 credits and must register for six credits).
This event is part of Gov. Jennifer Granholm's statewide "Return to Learn" campaign to invite Michigan adults to return to school by either completing or initiating study leading to postsecondary degrees and credentials. The state Commission on Higher Education and Economic Growth lead by Lt. Gov. John Cherry made a strong case that helping Michigan working-age adults complete postsecondary degrees and credentials was a major priority for improving Michigan's economic future, as well as the personal finances of Michigan families.
As Gov. Granholm said in announcing the "Return to Learn" initiative, "A college degree can be the ticket to a bigger paycheck for our citizens and a stronger economy for our state. To attract the kinds of businesses we need to grow Michigan's economy, Michigan needs to lead the nation in the number of college graduates we have in our state."
For adults looking for a new future, this JCC workshop can be that first step. To RSVP for this "Return to Learn" event at JCC, please call 796-8605. For more information, call 796-8411.
