The ACE Program at Holyoke Community College
The main goal of the ACE program is to build confidence in participants in terms of their English Language skills through classes that will target job readiness and career exploration. As you know, there are many people that come to the USA with great backgrounds, but because of their limited English speaking skills, they can't find jobs or go for a training program of their desire or experience.
Through this program HCC will be working with the participants in creating new opportunities for them in terms of jobs, career exploration, and/or training opportunities.
The best of all of this, THIS IS A FREE program with great support services for the participants. And it is online!!
What I want from you is to contact me for more information, and to see how you can help your customers to be part of this program. Please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience. Please feel free to pass this flyer to your customers and other community contacts.
