The Region 9 Adult Education & Literacy College & Career Pathway program is an academic support program for students training in one of our designated career pathway fields for in-demand careers. It organizes education, training, and other services to meet the particular needs of an individual in a manner that accelerates their education and career advancement. The program is a selective program, but once complete, students can be immediately employable. We are in the process of developing classes (i.e. STARS) for our Helping You Build (HUB) Career Academy which will include academic prep for the Texas Success Initiative (TSI).
In this entry-level course, students gain the knowledge in workplace readiness, financial literacy, career readiness, and digital literacy along with understanding the onboarding process of enrolling into our IET classes or enrolling into college.
If you are interested in the STARS program, please contact the Region 9 Adult Education & Literacy Department at 940-322-6928.
