LTC MANITOWOC & LTC SHEBOYGAN
LTC offers programs to prepare adults to earn a high school credential, enter a college program, and/or improve to enter employment. Instruction is provided in the areas of reading, writing, math, social studies, science, civics, career and employability education, and English Language Learning (ELL). The course of study is determined through goal setting and working closely with instructors to create an individualized plan of education.
Specific Programming Includes:
• Adult Education is designed for individuals who want to review, learn, or improve academic skills in reading, writing, math, and digital literacy. The curriculum offers students the opportunity to meet personal needs for additional education, training and/or employment.
• GED/HSED programming prepares adult students to earn a high school credential, such as the General Equivalency Development (GED) certificate or the High School Equivalency Diploma (HSED). To earn a GED, students must successfully complete a Career Awareness course and four academic exams:
o Reasoning through Language Arts o Mathematical Reasoning
o Science
o Social Studies
• The HSED credential requires successful completion of the four GED exams PLUS the following: o Health (exam or coursework)
o Employability Skills course
• Alternative HSED programming is also available. A competency-based, structured class option allows students to earn the HSED without taking the GED exams. This is for individuals who can, in a classroom setting, demonstrate mastery of skills expected of Wisconsin high school graduates, but who would be unable to demonstrate those competencies in a formal, timed, testing environment. This credentialing opportunity also requires a state-mandated civics test.
• All high school credentialing opportunities also require a state mandated civics test in addition to the above criteria.
• The English Language Learning (ELL) program is designed to provide non-English and limited-English speaking student’s coursework in Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking the English language. Other subjects offered are digital literacy, citizenship exam preparation, and employability classes.
• Career and employability courses are offered to explore interests, skills, and goals for employment. Resume writing, interviewing skills, digital literacy, and other skills to obtain and retain employment are stressed.
• LTC support services are offered; these include:
o General Counselors who are available to assist with career planning, program enrollment support, and
selection.
o Admissions Advisors to work with students on college admission steps.
o Student support, such as accommodation services, diversity services, and academic support.
