Adults who are interested in attending any of the courses offered
at the Charles Jones Career and Education Center must attend an
orientation. During the orientation, potential students are given
an overview of program offerings, school policies and an
introduction to the various community partners who provide a
valuable support system for our students. Students are given the
opportunity to discuss the program with instructors and coaches,
visit the classrooms if requested and ask questions specific to
the program area.
After this orientation, the students are given an assessment test
(basic reading and math).
