94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
The state of Kentucky is observing Adult Education and Family Literacy Week now through September 19, with a spotlight on making learning more accessible for Kentuckians of all ages.
“The most recent state data shows that the Office of Adult Education saw an incredible increase of 19 percent in total enrollment and services,” said Lieutenant Governor Jacqueline Coleman during Thursday’s Team Kentucky Update. “That success is due to the hard work of the Kentucky Office of Adult Education and our statewide network of providers in addition to our investment in adult education.”
Coleman said as the state continues to see success in economic development, the focus on workforce development must remain strong, and that begins with creating opportunities in education.
“We’re creating world-class educational and training opportunities by embracing a culture of lifelong learning,” Coleman said. “This will help workers acquire the skills that they need to remain relevant in a rapidly-evolving workplace. We’re working to expand apprenticeship opportunities throughout our commonwealth where our citizens can earn as they learn on the job.”
September 16 is also National GED Day. Coleman said since the GED testing fee was waived in Kentucky in 2020, nearly 27,000 Kentuckians have taken advantage of the state’s GED initiatives, with the state posting a 79 percent pass rate.
