District 1199C Training and Upgrading Fund, a GED to College Success Program

September 21, 2011 Greetings:

It gives me great pleasure to inform you of a wonderful program offered by District 1199C Training and Upgrading Fund, a GED to College Success Program. This dynamic free program provides students from the ages of 17-21 with not only an opportunity to earn their GED, but to also transition into an accredited college or university. Space is limited; only 25 students will be selected for this program. Each student will have the opportunity to experience intensive Fast Track GED courses, achieve a number of certifications and classes in life skills, college readiness and career preparedness.

Potential candidates must meet the following eligibility requirements:

• ·         Be a Philadelphia Resident
• ·         Be WIA Eligible- must meet income guidelines
• ·         Aged 17-21
• ·         Be able to commit Monday through Thursday 9:00 a.m.-2:30 p.m.
• ·         A desire to attend college

Please spread the word to community members, students and parents about this free interactive hands-on program. I have attached a flyer with all the detailed information. There will be information sessions every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. All interested students most attend one of the information sessions. If you have any questions do not hesitate to call me at 215-568-2220 ext. 5107.
