Adult Basic Education
The (ABE) Program is a highly structured, research-based program designed to build twenty-first-century skills that enable students to successfully transition to postsecondary education and/or the workplace.
Free General Educational Development (GED) preparation, reading skills, Family Education, and workforce-specific classes are offered in the morning, afternoon, and evening to maximize convenience and accessibility.

       Fast Track
            • a program option for students who receive a "Likely to Pass" or "Too Close to Call" status on the GED Ready tests. Most                students do not have the same skills in every content area. While one student may be ready to proceed in one or more                content areas, it is likely that other areas require additional study. Sometimes, a quick brush up is enough, and other                times, intensive classroom study is needed. FastTrack will provide the brush up.

Accelerating Opportunities
Accelerating Opportunities program is a different approach to teaching students who need help with foundational skills by mixing career training with additional support for math, writing, and reading inside and outside the classroom. This student-first approach gives participants the skills they need to succeed in school and compete in the workforce by working on technical and foundational education while also providing support services to students through a ABE instructors and a career coach.

            • Make it easier for students who need extra help to complete their education.
            • Allow students to earn their General Educational Development (GED) credential while they are also enrolled in college                courses.
            • Allow students to earn one or more certifications that will help them get a better job with a family-sustaining wage.
            • Allow students to earn college credit that leads to a degree in the future.

English as a Second Language
The (ESL) program help students build the foundation to further their education. Classes are offered on a variety of schedules to accommodate students'. Students are placed in ESL courses specific to their skill level to prepare them to move on to contextualize career courses.

In addition to our traditional ESL classes, the GCCCA is currently piloting and evaluating a new model for teaching English as a Second Language. The Integrated Digital English Acceleration (I-DEA) program combines in-person and on-line instruction with self-directed coursework at times and locations convenient for the student. With an increased retention rate and significant education gains, our pilot cohorts are demonstrating just how promising this approach is with our adult learners.

Citizenship
Cizitenship program provide preparation for the USCIS Citizenship test, including review of pertinent U.S. Civics and History information, and practice for the English reading and writing portions of the test.

Integrated Educational Training

Integrated Educational Training (IET) program empower students to improve their scores on the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) and prepare students for classes in Technical careers (Health, Manufacturing, Automotive, Cosmetology, Fire Science, ETC.)

High School Equivalency Diploma
The (HEP) program helps migratory and seasonal farmworkers (or children of such workers) who are 16 years of age or older and not currently enrolled in school to obtain the equivalent of a high school diploma and, subsequently, to gain employment or begin postsecondary education or training.

Plaza Comunitaria program
Plaza Comunitaria program offer the opportunity for youth and adults to have literacy courses and to start or continue their elementary, middle and high school education in Spanish. Every student who completes his or her education under this program gets a certificate provided by the Mexican Ministry of Education and is prepared to present successfully a GED in Spanish and, if the student has a good level of English, to present it in this language. Furthermore, many studies show how students can learn English faster and more efficiently if they have a solid education in their own language.
