LBCC's 50th
GED Program at LBCC
People have said that high school is the greatest four years of your life, to others that may not have been the case. For whatever reasons they may of had over 1.2 million students dropout of high school every year. That is a student every 26 seconds! After dropping out some people are not sure what to do, getting your General Equivalency Diploma is a great step.
In 2016-17 around 384 people enrolled to get their GED/ABE, but only 87 of those people graduated according to the ABS Transition Data 2016-17. The GED program has been around for almost as long as LBCC has been standing. The GED is a set of four subject tests, when passed, proves that you have high-school level academic skills.GED was set in place to help those who needed to further their education.
Linda Hobson is the Faculty and Lead instructor for ABE (Adult Basic Education) and GED. She started working at LBCC in November of 1998, and later got a contract February 1, 1999. She has worked for LBCC around 18 years and says that she finds it a great place to work. Hobson wants people to know that getting your GED isn't the "easy way" you have to work to succeed, and she says "I'm here for the students and their success."
That is what the GED is there for, to help you reach your goals. Richard Parker an LBCC graduate actually received his GED in 2012. He graduated college in 2016 with a Associate of Applied Science Networking and System Administration, Associate of Applied Science Web/Data Base Technologies . Parker is now working on helping people create their own websites and fixing computers. Parker says that "getting his GED helped him move on to college." Parker says that the GED helped him get on the right track with his education.
The GED program has helped so many before, and thanks to LBCC Richard Parker and many others achieved theirs.
