Dear Customers and Students,

Regretfully, I want to inform you of our recent decision to discontinue our  Vocational ESL, Workplace English and English for Employment classes as of  the Fall 2012 term. We will remain committed to providing computer training to our students and community, and will explore ways to offer short, targeted computer workshops for local employers; topics such as Pivot Tables, V-Look up, Mastering Mail Merge, and more.

These changes allow us to add much needed monies back into the school-wide budget, as well as give the CTE program a focus area in which we can excel. We will continue our partnerships with Boston Reed, Ed2Go, and may offer community education classes that may work well with our career training program in the future.

For up-to-date information on our program offerings, please keep an eye on our school website and facebook page.

Thank you,
Michelle Walker-Wade, CTE Program Manager
