Get Your GED
Having a GED increases job opportunities and allows access to higher education. Funding provided under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), allowed SEICAA to start a GED program in 2009. This program gives participants the opportunity to obtain their GED by providing free individualized tutoring and assisting with the cost of testing.
- Participants need to be at or below CSBG federal poverty guidelines (see below).
- Participants will be enrolled with a Family Development Specialist at SEICAA.
- We give each participant an entry assessment test (called the TABE) to evaluate what they already know compared to what subjects they need tutoring in.
- We try to accommodate participants schedules as much as possible, and we can travel to the outreach counties covered by SEICAA (Bear Lake, Bingham, Caribou, Franklin, Oneida & Power counties)
- SEICAA will pay for participants to take the GED test up to three times in one calendar year.
