Skills Center - Cranston

This is a year round program for Rhode Islanders age 16-21. We provide a full range of services designed to provide the skills needed to compete in today’s job market. We offer GED programs (340 GEDs in 2009-2010), job acquisition skills trainings and job placement assistance. If you know a high school drop out that may benefit from the fastest growing GED and Job Skills program in Rhode Island, we are pleased to offer you our services- referrals are always appreciated. The three Learn to Earn Skills Centers provide clean, bright, and safe environments. Our staff of retired Rhode Island teachers work diligently to energize all students using textbook based, computer based and web based curricula. All enrollees are connected with a case manager. For qualifying students, we provide bus fare, reimburse mileage, and offer free parking at the Mall. This year, 200 students (based on income and other criteria) will qualify for up to $1000 in incentives for participation in our program.
