We hope you enjoyed the holidays and have had a chance to rest and refresh. During 2023, we cherished the opportunity to meet with so many of you, our education partners and state administrators, at virtual meetings, in-person events, and our annual GED conference. On behalf of our team at the GED Testing Service, I wanted to thank each one of you, our adult education partners, for walking hand in hand with us in our mission to encourage progress through learning and improve the lives of learners through education, opportunities, and the empowerment that comes from accomplishing what we set out to do.
You may recall last October, here in InSession, I invited you to embrace the momentum and to end the year strong. We certainly did our best to do so and are proud to highlight some accomplishments:
- GED added six new states: Indiana, New Hampshire, Louisiana, Missouri, West Virginia, and Montana to the GED family
- Our GED marketing team highlighted their many accomplishments in this short video
- We received three graphic design awards – check out Graphic Design USA
- We supported initiatives and new products, including a Credly badge refresh, GED student handbook, new math practice product, science reference sheet, and accessibility work.
- Over 20,000 learners have completed the WithYouWithMe (WYWM) learning styles assessments; over 1,000 GED graduates have engaged in the WYWM apprenticeship program.
We urge you to note our award-winning infographics, the adult learner, and the GED Testing Service, as they allow us to share vital information in a more accessible, engaging way.
Here are some of the innovations we will introduce in 2024:
- A completely redesigned website, easier to navigate for educators and learners
- A mobile app that will make our content much more accessible to all students
- Official launch of the GED TestPrepped Coaching Program
- Job expos to provide a shared space for learners, educators, and employers to meet
We are so excited for the year ahead and the opportunities to serve our learners in a collaborative, synergistic way with you, our educator partners!
