SUCCESS STORIES
Jennifer Hanson
Petoskey
Jennifer Hanson and her husband Randy both earned their GEDs at the Petoskey Adult Education Learning Lab. Jennifer was selected as one of the student speakers at the 2011 Adult Education Commencement Ceremony. "If I was going to get a better job, or go to college, or set a good example for my daughter, I needed to go back to school and finish my education," said Jennifer. She and and Randy both enrolled at NCMC.
The Northwest Michigan Adult Learning Partnership was formed to assist adult learners with the often difficult task of transitioning from Adult Education to post-secondary education.
Adults in Northwest Michigan can participate in several initiatives that introduce them to programs and resources at local colleges. Those initiatives include Campus Visits, Financial Aid Workshops, Study Skills Classes, Mentoring relationships, and Career Education and Training Fairs.
The Partnership consists of the following partners:
- TBA ISD Adult Education/Northwest Michigan Works!
- Northwest Michigan Works!
- Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District
- North Central Michigan College
- Northwestern Michigan College
- Baker College of Cadillac
- Kirtland Community College - M-TEC at Gaylord
- West Shore Community College
- Grand Traverse Literacy Council
- Michigan Rehabilitation Services-Northern Division
