Did you know that many
people are taking half a salary
or working three part-time jobs
just to pay the bills? “Welcome
to the new post-recession
labor landscape,” says Carole
Fleck. “Consequently, older
and younger workers alike are
increasingly forced to accept
part-time or temporary jobs
in lieu of full-time work or
take full-time positions
inappropriate to their skill
level or previous pay grade.”
Maintaining and upgrading
current skills are a couple of
ways that will keep you in
the job market. If you do not
have a high school or GED
diploma, enrolling in an Adult
Education Program is the
first step. Many young and
older adults are tired of the
vicious cycle that they seem
to be stuck in and are doing
something about it. They have
enrolled in day or evening
classes. Several students in the
GED program have made the
decision to be a better example
for themselves and especially
their children.
L.E.A.P., your business,
government, education
nonprofit organization.
continues to bring awareness
and promote literacy. Free
day and evening classes
are offered in Adult Basic
Education (ABE) and General
Educational Development
(GED) preparation in Fort
Valley and Byron.
The Fort Valley Adult
Education Center is located
at 700 Spruce Street, Wing B
(478-825-9072). The Byron
Adult Education Center is
located at 202 Moseley Road
(478-956-7621). Middle GA
Technical College is our
literacy provider and summer
classes will begin on Monday,
July 11,2011.
You may visit the center in
Byron or Fort Valley and
register now so that you will
be ready to attend. For more
information about L.E.A.P.

the residents that do not
have a diploma, visit our
