FREE ESL Classes! In-person or Online! All levels welcome!
About our English classes
Integrated English Language and Civics Education (IELCE) classes are also available for English language learners seeking job training, civics education, community engagement, and/or citizenship skills.
Our program teaches English in the context of workforce preparation. This includes teaching skills that are necessary in the workplace so that students can get a job or a better job.
We are goal-oriented
Our staff helps students set goals for themselves and provides case management and barrier removal so students can attain their goals. After students have progressed through ESL, our staff can help students transition from ESL to High School Equivalency (e.g. GED) preparatory classes, Home Health Aide and Nurse Training classes, citizenship classes, or college.
