Transition Services

Transitioning

Wiregrass Georgia Technical College’s Office of Adult Education provides assistance to students registered in the program to transition to post secondary education after completing their GED®.

GED® Step UP Program

The GED® Step UP Program has been designed to give adult education students who have obtained program-ready ACCUPLACER, COMPASS or SAT/ACT scores and who have achieved a General Equivalency Diploma (GED®) as their goal, an opportunity to begin technical certificates of credit or diploma programs while still enrolled in the adult education program. To participate in the program a student must have obtained passing scores in at least two of the four GED® test subject areas.

Integrated Education and Training

The Integrated Education & Training program (IET) is designed to prepare Adult Education students for a job and boost their earning potential. Adult Education students will earn industry-recognized credentials in the areas of Manufacturing, Construction, or Welding while attending Adult Education classes. All IET students will also earn their Georgia BEST soft skills certification. IET classes are held quarterly on rotating campuses. Please contact Frankie Brockington at frankie.brockington@wiregrass.edu for more information on the IET program.
