For Jessica M, getting her GED was super important; she wanted to prove to her kids that even though she made a mistake by leaving high school at a young age, it was still possible to change the future. Achieving her high school credential proved that nothing can stop her from accomplishing long-term goals for her career.
The GED program was convenient and easy to fit into a busy schedule. Jessica was grateful for another chance at education. Her prep materials were free, and she could attend classes when she had time. Jessica extended a special thank you to the teachers and staff at the Columbus, Nebraska community college location where she studies for the GED test. She shared her positive experience: “They are absolutely amazing people and care genuinely for each individual.”
Central Community College offers 37 career and technical programs with a focus on degree, diploma and certificate program that require two years of less to complete. The college also offers an academic transfer program for students who want to complete the first two years of a bachelor’s degree before transferring to a four-year college or university.
Jessica now has her GED diploma in hand, and is planning a career as a pharmaceutical technician. Her goal now is to graduate from college.
