Gateway CTC Skills U PLC 2018-2019
The high cost of the GED® is perhaps hindering many students who have completed 50 – 75% of coursework toward completion. How might community partners help break down that barrier?

Product Description

Gateway Skills U hopes to reduce the barrier to obtaining a GED® credential that the cost of the test poses. Through engaging community partners, we hope to create a GED® voucher support request letter and speaking engagement toolkit to secure “scholarship” funds for students.  Collaborating with partners using the toolkit will help ensure that funding is raised to assist students toward persistence.
