About the Adult Diploma Program
The Adult Diploma Program at C-TEC’s Postsecondary Center is a new opportunity for any resident of Ohio who is 18 years old or older and does not already have a high school diploma or GED credential. Learning is student-centered, self-paced and begins with a career pathway in mind. From student orientation, career counseling, assessment and enrichment classes, to technical training that leads to an industry-approved credential, this program is designed to provide support and promote success during and after graduation.
Adult Diploma Program participants will receive their high school diploma upon successful completion of the credential program and acquiring the designated industry credential for their assigned program. The high School diploma is issued by the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce.
While the program is offered at no cost to students, there are required commitments the student must fulfill to participate and continue enrollment in the programming.
- Potential Adult Diploma Program students must sign up for and complete a mandatory orientation through C-TEC’s Aspire program. Students will receive an introduction to the program and C-TEC’s Postsecondary Center. They will be assessed using the TABE test (Test of Adult Basic Education) to determine placement in the program, open OMJ and Ohio SAFE accounts, complete enrollment paperwork, and individually conference with an Aspire Instructor in regards to testing results, goal setting and career planning.
- After successful completion of orientation, students will be referred to an Aspire enrichment class where students will receive instruction to prepare them to take and pass the WorkKeys assessment. In order to be accepted into one of the approved C-TEC Adult Diploma Program courses, a student must pass each section of the WorkKeys assessment (reading, math and locating Information). Each program offering has its own WorkKeys minimum score for enrollment. There are several program options to choose from.
