Aligned Work
YWCA SEW focuses on adult education by providing HSED and GED support and credentialing opportunities. Adult education classes are offered free of charge, increasing accessibility with one-on-one tutoring. Participants enrolled in the GED pathway receive virtual, classroom-style instruction that prepares them for GED, while HSED candidates’ complete coursework to earn credentials. A four-week Personal Financial Management unit is woven into instruction while students also can meet requirements and receive the National Career Readiness Certification. (Reducing Barriers to Employment & Advancement)
YWCA digital literacy is embedded in HSED and GED instruction as well as offered as a separate learning opportunity. YWCA is working collaboratively with other education partners to offer digital literacy classes, drop-in sessions, and one on one support, in English and Spanish both online and virtually. YWCA works with collocated hub tenants to host collaborative digital literacy focused events and device distribution. (Techquity)
