EDUCATION FOR ADULTS
IN PEACH INC.
Did you know that there
is a birth to work pipeline in
Georgia? The pipeline is the
path that children take from
birth that, when successfully
navigated, leads them to a suc¬
cessful career at the end. What
we need in Peach County is
to tighten the link between
high school and postsecondary
institutions. When a student
decides that they no longer
desire to earn their high school
diploma. GF.D classes are
available and will help them
get back on track toward a
successful career The Georgia
Partnership for Excellence in
Education has identified the
Top Ten Issues to Watch in
2012 and the Role of Education
in the Economic Development
Pipeline is one of them.
L.E.A.P., your business,
education, government, non¬
profit organization, pro¬
motes literacy and encour¬
ages residents without a high
school diploma to enroll in
an Adult Education class.
Free Adult Basic Education
(ABE), English as a Second
Language (ESL), and General
Educational Development
(GF.D) preparation classes
are taught in Fort Valley and
Byron weekly. Middle Georgia
Technical College is our liter¬
acy provider and conducts day
and evening classes. The Fort
Valley Adult Education Center
is located at 700 Spruce Street,
Wing B (478) 825-9072 and
in Byron, 202 Moseley Road

can help Peter Drucker said,
"The successful person places
more attention on doing the
right thing rather than doing
things right ” Earning a GED
diploma is the right thing to
do in order to get your career
back on track. Don’t miss out
on the job opportunities that
are coming down the pipeline
